makes sense to me, but they didn't install my springs correctly the first time so that was the reason why my car was riding a lot higher on one side. It was a difference of about 1 inch higher. I thought it just needed some time for the springs to settle but after driving 1000 miles over 4 weeks I got sick of looking at my car being jacked up on one side and took it back to the dealer to have them look at it.

After they installed the springs properly, my car now looks like it is the same ride height on both sides. I haven't measured the fender gap to see if one side is more than the other, but visually it looks even on both sides now.

How so? There's no left and right springs. All other components are the same size left to right. I just has PS springs installed a couple days ago and both sides are at the same height.
