Eibach Pro-Kit installed. Uneven Rear Drop

[GS89]

Just installed the Eibach Pro kit 2 days ago and noticed that the rear drivers side sits a lot lower than the passenger side. I am aware i am needing a bit of time to let them settle however am already afraid as I have a 315/35/20 Nitto NT05 tire out back and it rubs slightly on turns. (no extra weight 1 driver no spare tire) I have seen others on the forum have the same tire size and eibach pro kit and are fine. Am i just one of the unlucky bunch or is this an eibach known issue :(

When was your car built?
Is the IRS Cradle offset?
Did you orient the springs exactly the same?
Is it rubbing inside or outside?
What wheel/BS?Offset ETC?

How do you offset the IRS cradle?

There is no locating pin between subframe and body.
Loosening it will shift it.

that's why steeda has an "alignment kit"

Do you think it may cause some uneven height when it shifts?

Nah id rather think you have the spring installed wrong on one side...
The other issue I read about (without really understanding) was that the bushings have to be "clocked".

Do a search on here I think there's a sticky.

I searched for the stickey bushings clocked and I can not find it.

Here's the thing. My GT is leaning on the rear driver side - at least what I see is the rear driver side is lower than the rear passenger side.

I had my dealer installed the FRPP Handling Pack and it's still the same. I didn't hit any potholes or any accidents previously.

Really not sure what's going on at this point.

Either one spring is shorter, spring is not in the cradle correctly, camber is off for the one side much more then the other. Another factor would be the cradle is not aligned which will add to a rubbing issue. Pro-kit should not have issues with 315 in the rear.

What I mean was my car is already leaning on the left side on stock suspension. Now I got FRPP handling pack installed and driver side rear is still leaning.

The car isn't a perfectly 50/50 cross-weight balance, this is normal.

May be the case but shouldn't be noticeable to the eye.

Disconnect the swaybars end links and see if it still leans.

Disconnect the swaybars end links and see if it still leans.

I had another shop loosen the LCA bolts but the car still leans. I will try disconnecting the sway bar end links this weekend and report back.
