Default Pro-Kit Sag?

I stuck a prokit in my car about 6 months ago and the passenger rear has settled to 3/8" lower than the driver side! Is there a tendancy for these to sag? All the other 3 look fine still. I like the drop but if these spring suck then i will swap for another brand. Any input??

My buddies camaro had the same problem with his Eibachs initially the stance was great almost level. After a year of having them though the rear sat lower than the front.

No wobbling. I wouldnt think that would be spring related. So we have established that eibach sucks *****, so what is the best spring to use. I settled to almost 2" of drop and dont want any less than 1.5". I cant go past 2 bc of rubbing issues.

My car is doing the same thing it sits about a half inch lower on the passenger rear side. I have had enough of the Eibach springs. I have Strano revalved Bilstein shocks already and Im going to go with the Strano springs to replace the Eibachs.

I just called eibach and they will warrenty my spring. You need to call summit and buy a new single rear spring (part # 3870.002) which is about $85 shipped. Then warrenty that spring. Eibachs number is 800-507-2338 Ill keep you guys informed with the way things go.
