2000 Acura tl lowering spring problem

So I just install my truhart lowering springs in the front and the front right side of the car sits a little lower than the front left side. So I was just wondering if there is any reason why it's like that. Any reply would Help thanks!

You should let the springs settle in.. they will be over stiff at first and can be a little un-even, give it a week until you start to worry..

My eibach pro kits have been on for about two weeks now and my left rear sits lower than my right rear! Same thing but in the back! Does anyone know possible problems that can cause this? Eibach prokits with koni yellows

It may not be a problem at all, it may be the spring/strut still settling in! It could be many things though

a lot of things.
1)are you sure you're on level ground? do not measure on a driveway, as it will be off.
2) did you install it correctly?
3)one side is heavier than the other, there's the battery, the transmission and a lot of other stuff hanging to one side.(hint the drivers side)

Is the shock fully seated in the fork? I would double check that.

Also I had issues with binding one time with my front upper strut mounts where the strut wasn't resting where it was supposed to, this will be pretty obvious upon installation though.

+1 on the fork, if not installed correctly it can pop out and then your in trouble.
Seen it on a thread here on the TSX side.
