not sitting right

Ok, I posted this before and recieved no help so im trying again.. I have a 1988 T/A which In have put the eibach pro kit on(also changed shocks and struts at same time) They have been on the car for about a year, at first there wasn't much of a difference but they sit good now, the only thing is that the passenger side rear sits 1/2inch higher than the whole driver side and the passenger front sits about a 1/4 inch higher than the driver side(fron and back driver side are the same height).. Anyone have any ideas as to why..? I will take some pics when I get home and use a measuring tape to show you.. Thanks everyone...

only explanations are a taller spring than the rest or binding in your suspension. Was the car ever wrecked? maybe something is bent.

are they spun correctly? in otherwords are the tops of the coil pointing in the right or at least similar direction? how you have the spring sitting can determine the drop amount as well as the even-ness.

what about the isolators( rubber insulators) are you using them and are they new?

and lastly i know this is a bit obvious but you don't have anything heavy on one side over another keeping it uneven do you?

if all things are equal and the car body/frame is straight then there shouldn't be any problems......not to say that there isn't some defect in the spring rate that could cause the problem but i doubt it.
