Exclamation uneven springs

i just noticed after installing my springs/shocks 2 days ago that my front drivers side is about half a finger lower. and when i hit bumps in road it rubs.

is this because of spring or did i mess up somewhere during install.
will my tires wear unevenly?

If you went with the coilovers- just measure how much you need to adjust and reset spring perch- its simple.
Most cars are not weighted the same left to right and have a lean

If you went conventional, did the rubber cap on the spring get reused?
are the bottem of the springs in that little notch that stops them from moving/turning?

A few details will help people diagnose and advise you

the seats. Where teh shock slides into the fork (the part that looks like a wishbone that attaches to the lower control arm) Make sure that its properly seated all the way into it.
