did you clock the springs properly? you must pay close attention to the pigtails on the rear springs.

I just recently installed springs on my car. Make sure the front springs sit into the grooves on the A-arms. If you have the left side in there wrong, it's gonna cause the left side to sit higher. It's easy to check. Just remove the wheel and take a look at the bottom of the spring.

Up front on the control arm are 2 holes where the spring sits. Position both springs in the same place. Normally one hole is left uncovered while the other is covered by the end of the spring.

Im not sure how theyre positioned in the rear. Then again im still running stock as far as i know, but i think mine have the spring ends facing the rear, on the lower control arm.
