Default Springs Question

Ok so I bought some Tanabe nf210 springs and had ASAA (tuner shop) install the springs. Problem is, front right is about 1/2-3/4" higher then the front left. I took it back to ASAA to make sure they put the right springs in the correct places, all good there. They said to give it a week to see if it corrects itself. Well its been a week and it's still the same. Did i get reject springs from Tanabe, or is there something else that I'm overlooking?

.....honestly that is weird as hell
if the shop installed them wrong then you would most likely feel it....and almost any retard can put springs on a car so i doubt a tuner shop wouldnt do it properly

you are pretty much stuck with taking them out all together....other than that idk what to tell you

Yea, its very strange, the car doesnt pull to either side, it will drive in the direction I face it forever, and it doesnt pull under breaking. I think I'm going to have to call Tanabe up and get me another set of springs.

could it be driver weight taking its toll on the shock? i could see this being the case if you rarely have passengers.

I haven't really thought of that, i didn't see the lady that owned the car before i bought it, but she drove it for 26K miles, the car now has 41K miles. I'm about 190#'s and I mostly drive the car to work (no passengers) and a little on the weekends, maybe I'll look into buying me some Koni's and see if it straightens out

edit: now that i think about it the drivers side is the one that's higher, so no, that can't be it.

its not out of the ordinary. After having my Espelir coils installed my driver's rear was 1/4" higher than the passenger rear. Not completely uncommon for each corner of the car to be a little different. I've had my coils in for three weeks and they've just begun to settle.
