Default suspension problem

I am lowered with tanabe springs 1" and I couldnt help but notice how one side of the car is lower than the other. I thought the springs just needed to settle in. After about 5 months I got new wheels (19" by 8.5) and it only rubs on that one side that is lower. That was my last straw and I decided to get it checked. The tech said there definitely a height difference from one side to another but cannot figure out why until he takes it all apart. Has anyone had this same problem???? thanks.

LoL ... I thought I was the only 1. All for corners on mine are different by 1/2 inch. I preloaded the bushings correctly also. I'm meticulous in my mechanic work by the way

basically, the car is leaning towards the drivers side. the passenger side front doesnt even look like its lowered.

Did the springs have labels on them before you installed them to let you know if they belong in the front or rear?

i'm on espelir springs... all my corners are noticeably lower. just uneven. you may have a problem of where you installed a rear spring on the front, vice versa. but i can tell you this install isn't rocket science.
