Default Help re: car might not be level after lowering.

I got a 07 v6 mustang and just had in lowered with eibach sportline springs. Every thing seems fine except one thing. I looked at the back tires and the wheel gap on the drivers side looks less then the side on the. Basically I think the drivers side it lower that the passengers side. Now I can be sure that the car is not level. All I can tell is that the wheels gaps are different with the drivers side looking about 1/2 inch lower on the drivers side.

Could this bea problem? Keep in mind that I have new sprngs. Maybe I need to just let them settle a little bit. Or is it possible that since I usually sit alone, the car just tends to lower on the drivers side. Or maybe more weight is just on the drivers side (I just got a full tank and I think the gas is on the driver's side).

Is this normal? What should I be checking out if there is a problem? I don't know if the wheel gaps were identical before I had it lowered but now that it has been lowered, I can now notice it. Thanks for any help.

Make sure they are installed correctly. If they are, they should settle out. Were the springs the same height prior to installing them? Did you check? You should have.

Take some measurements. Use level garage floor and measure fenderlip to fround.
Then definitely check the positioning of the springs in the seat.
If that all looks good... give it a few miles to settle and see what happens.
