eibachs not evenly lowered
for those with eibach springs and stock struts, could you check for me the wheel gaps in the front? i just noticed that my driver side seems to be 1 finger, maybe .5 inch, lower than the passenger side.
i doubt it was installed wrong because it looked fine 2 weeks ago before i came home from college. what could have happened?
i'm not sure if the driver side is sagging, it looks about normal, the passenger side looks higher than usual. what a way to ruin my holidays...

well it's been on the driveway for one night, but when i backed it out to even level, it's still higher on the passenger side.
i remember it both being the same level, but today, suddenly the passenger side is higher than normal. the driver side is still normal, as compared to other pics of eibach isntalls

that is normal. because driver side of the car is heavier than passenger side. 
If you get a chance to have the car corner weighed and balanced, you will find out the wrx weight distribution is kinda out of wack. Your best bet is either relocate the battery or hit the gym! hahaha
or you can get coilovers...

The strut top may be rotated. It is impossible to install the strut wron, but it is possible to have the strut top rotated. It is very important to have the strut top oriented correctly. Also, make sure the springs are seated in the perches and on top mounts.
