Put in knoi shock and strano springs today

Before After
Front 25 5/8 Left 26 1/2 Rt 26 3/8
Rear 26 Left 26 3/4 Rt 26 1/2

Does anyone know why the back right would be lower... i checked the springs before and the eibachs where the same way... and i know most people would say make sure you put the spright in facing the same way and i did that. The only way i could think of fixing it is trying to spin the rear spring until it is lil longer on one side??? any ideas would be great

Will have pics up tomorrow
They worked out just as i thought they would they raised the car just enough even if i have another big guy in the car, i dont drag my header pulling into my drive way anymore... have to play w/ the shocks (prob next weekend at the track atco muscle weekend) but i could already tell that they where def better than the stock ones w/ 82,XXX on them hahah, i owe a big thanks to sam for filling me in on some lil stuff to make it easier

If anyone want the Eibach springs (>15K on them)pm me

My AIR system was causing the Service Engine Soon light to stay on so I decided to remove AIR. Since I wanted to do that I got to thinking I might as well get my exhaust finished off with Headers and ORY and a Tune sooo,

Today I dropped off the car at Futral Motorsports.

I mourned over my bird since some people thought it was necessary to vandalize my bird and rip my driver side headlight completely off... The issues I'm having the past couple days are going to cause me to hurt someone... I swear...
