problems with uneven ride!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have an 03 cl type s with a 6 speed bought it new. shortly after i bought eibach pro kit at a speed shop they told me they didnt install at the time. so he directed me to a guy who did good work supposedly. so i got them installed by him for 100 dollars. the car looked good but then i noticed that the right rear was a little lower than the left. called the guy and told him about the problem and said that they will settle. so i left it alone my dumb mistake i never got it checked again until both my right side shocks gave out. so two weeks ago i got all four tokico shocks and installed them my self. did everything my self with a friend and the ride is alot better but, the right side is still a half inch lower. do you guys think that the eibach springs are shot?

in order to try to even the car out i changed the right rear to the left rear, but it didnt work. what do you thing i should do? replace the springs ? or is there something that i missed in the process of installing. please help.

Don't worry about half an inch. With stock control arm bushings there is enough friction that you can't get a repeatable reading.

Besides, when you get into the car that side will settle a bit and you're probably close to level.
