Default Body lean after lowering springs

I know about the typical driver side being a very little lower then driver side.. This is the opposite. After mods the driver side is a good 1" higher then pass side. (Rear) Measurement is from quarter panel to top of the tire. The car looks lopsided. These are the mods I just completed: (all umi) adjustable roto/roto lca,adjustable roto/roto pan hard bar, and relocation brackets. Also installed Stranos/konis with isolator. Stock sway with moog end links. The rear end is off centered also but I know that is curable with panhard adjustment. What could cause the crooked stance. It looks like the springs are seated right. Thanks in advance.

As I was playing with my panhard I noticed that if it is kicked over to the left it can make it sit a little funny also. Might start there. Not sure if it would account for the 1/2" extra however.

I'm going to take the springs off now. I'm hoping the isolator is off center somewhere. I read people talk about clocking the spring but can't find what that means.

Means making sure the pigtail at the bottom points the same way.

The saga continues. I get to my garage today after car has been sitting 24hrs and find the car sitting perfectly level. I adjust my panhard bar and even out the wheels then take it for a ride. The car is lopsided again. I'm so confused. I'm hoping the isolator is off somewhere.

This was my first thought when I read the thread. If the height is adjusting itself, I'm willing to bet the top coil is being maneuvered around the isolator/perch.

Yeah. I'm guessing that's it. I'm going to take it off and see. I'm getting a rattle/clunking sound also. But I was reading alot of people are having this problem so I don't know what to attribute it too.
