Default Limping springs

gotten eibach pro-kit few days ago; looks great, but i noticed some right pull. i also noticed that there is a 1/4' difference sidet-to-side: lower on the right . i dont know is it alignment or something wrong with the springs? i 'll take it back to shop, but not before week-end.
has anyone else had such a problem?

I second the 'seated properly'. With the coil ends needing to 'seat' into the boot/sleeve, that is most likely the issue.

I just sent a link to another post for the 'how to', you might find a pic in there of one of the ends:

all spring jobs need an alignment.

Actually the spring install didn't/doesn't move the wheels that much, out of alignment. I believe only the fronts were actual out and only slightly. Plus many shops don't/didn't have the specs for the Mags (as bad as that is, since the car has been out for over a year).

thanks guys,
alignment was done, but apperantly not very well.
i took a closer look on the car - seems that right front wheel camber is quite a bit greater than the other side. i think it may be the thing.
i'll take it tomorrow to shop - different one. mostly because of time issue. original place is too far from my work and i can do it only in AM.
i'm gonna try to get some credit from the first shop though..
i'll let you know how it went
