Default NU B Suspension woes!

I have a 90 GT and I installed FRPP lowering springs, UPR upper and lower control arms. I am running 275/40/17 rear and 245/45/17 front tire. After the install the right side of my car sits higher than the left and the left side tires rub when i go into a corner. I know for a fact that the rear spring "pig tails" are both facing the drivers side. As far as the front I will look at it tomorrow to see if the spring is seated properly. I have read on here and I see tons of guys cars lowered more than mine with no tire rubbing issues. Any suggestions on what will make one side sit lower than the other and what to do about my tires rubbing. I know its a long post but I am frustrated after doing all this work myself and any help is truly appriciated!

Ya I had the same problem. I found out the driverside front was not sitting properly. After I fixed it the car seemed to level out for the most part. Every once in a while you can tell that it has a slight lean. I cant figure out why. I asked on this forum and heard a lot of people say fox's tend to do it.

I have read several people say that the Fox's tend to lean; however mine wasnt leaning before the suspension upgrades. I will tear into it this weekend and see what is exactly going on.
