I just now noticed after having my shocks(KYB-GR2) and springs(tein S tech) on for about 3 months now, my car is uneven! The right side is lower than the left...any ideas? This shit is puzzling the crap out of me...! somebody, anybody, ideas?

sounds like possibly the springs are sagging. Teins are guarenteed against anymore than a couple millimeters(like 3 or 4 or something along those lines). So I would check everything else out and if indeed the springs are sagging contact tein. They should stand behind their warrenty as they are a pretty repubatable company.

does anyone have teins number? I keep trying to call their office, but all I get is a "this number has been disconnected" message.
if its not the springs sagging, what else could it possibly be?
in terms of how much more, I did the finger gap test. I can get 2.5....barely three on the passenger wheelwells. on the drivers side, its like close to 4. drivers side looks like a stock ride hide when compared to passenger side. now its really starting to bother me. this is so f'd up.

OK I sold my GS...this is happening with my brothers TSi AWD now..
on the top part of the strut assembly, the nut that holds everything together is on, but when I lower the car onto the ground its higher than the left. a lot higher. and when I test drove it down the block, theres a knocking sound coming from the rear right. I stop, pop the trunk, and I wiggle the washer that the nut is on, and its loose. the other side is fine, just the rear passenger is being weird. any thoughts? it seems this problem has a thing for following me around. did I assemble anything wrong? any ideas at all? Ive been on this now for 2 days, and its aggravating me.
