Default front spring or strut/shock problem

The front passenger side fender is lower than the driver side front fender I mean I can't even fit my finger between the tire and fender. How can I know or where can I measure to see if its the front shock or the spring that has given out a bit! The springs are Eibach Sportlines with like 1k miles on them.

No sh*t, I had never heard about it! So what can I do? Why does it happen then?

the springs are probably settled in now after 1k miles, so that might be why you didn't notice it right after the install... hmmmm eibachs, are they sagging already?

How much of a height *difference is there between the driver-side, and passenger-side?
*(Measure from the fender lip apex to the ground on both sides)
