Took my car to BlackTrax yesterday and get it installed on stock struts

here is the album, hopefully the resolution is good enough to see the details.

my front left is quite noticeably higher than the right as evidenced by the pictures.
i understand that they need to settle and that they might not be 100% even, but the differences are visible to the naked eye.

my alignment is due on monday, but the tires aren't cambered enough to make up that one inch difference.

any advice?

When was the accident?

Only half joking.

it was months ago in an underground garage, but the pillar was SUPER far in and when i reversed out, my tired-ass didnt see the pillar and it f@#ked up that quarterpanel/bumper/fender lol. 3mph is faster expected.

but thoughts on the ride height?

When u sit in the car... it is probably sits the same or close to how the others are sitting.

when i had springs on my car, it really took awhile for all to settle before i was able to get an alignment. however, it did even out. eventually over a few years of driving solo due to daily, left side slowly began to sag

but the front left is where i sit and its already lower

i'm trying to figure out why the passenger side is being a punk and not playing nice.
if i sit in the seat with my side already being lower, then the passenger side is going to take that much longer (if ever) to get to the right height, no?

I haven't heard the best things about those springs when researching an alternative to the cr springs for cr suspension set ups. With that said no complaints were related to ride height disparities.

Put the car through it's paces. It can take awhile for the springs to settle.

That's why I asked. Are you confident there was no damage to any suspension pieces? Bent suspension parts can be hard to identify visually. Knuckles in particular can affect ride height.

so its normal for springs to come from factory at uneven heights?
i figure that if the springs are an exact height, then placing it into my car would just mean its balanced the same way.

did i miss something?
