Default RSR downs not sitting level on 2016 IS350 F Sport

I had my RsR down on my 2014 IS250 F sport and while the front and back were not even the right and left sides were even when it came to the front and back. I installed my RSR down springs in my 2016 is350 F sport with 100 miles on it and the front driver and passenger sides are about 1/4 of a inch differnet from each other. The tears are about 1/4 inch differnet aswell from driver to passenger side. I'm not new to modding cars and did everything the same as I did every other time. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

thats wierd, usually it takes a few days for the springs to settle and level out...but not 100 miles.

maybe they forgot to change out one spring..jk.

drive it around for a few more days and see if it settles, if not bring it back to have it repaired or give RSR a call for tech support.

Good luck

Default same dealio

i have pretty much the same issue. i have RSR down springs on my 2014 IS250 AWD
they have been on since September last year and they still the same.
i had my tire alignment done about 3 weeks after they were installed and the mechanic pointed it out actually, but had no major concerns but just may be an eye sore.
he mentioned he wasn't able completely align the wheels because the stock cambers weren't adjustable, that may be another cause potentially?

i've considered going back to stock and actually measuring the RSR springs to see if they were all equal, but that is too much work...
