Default uneven body height after instal

So i just installed my tubular bolt on SFC (umi). when i installed the pass side, and loaded the car prior to tightening, it seemed to drop a bit more than usual. I suspected that the SFC was just settling in. However, when i measure the height wheel to panel, there's about a 1/2" difference on the reares. Pass sits lower than driver.. What could have gone wrong? or What is wrong? Blown shock you guys think? But i dont see how installing sfc could alter the geometry height... any help would be appreciated

Are you sure it changed from before the install ?
Because all of these cars sit higher on the Left side vs the right (ie when the driver sits in it it levels out)

yea i measured all four corners, and the passenger side sits about 1/2-3/4 in higher than the drivers side, i have stock shocks, springs, and no sfc. i bet its the same as before the sfc install but you just didn't measure it before..
