Sorry to raise this thread back from dead.
I happen to have the same problem with my recently installed Eibach springs as well. These springs were installed with stock shocks.
My car's ride height does look pretty even. However, I don't know why I have a 3.5 finger wheel gap on my right front side while my left front side has only a 2.5 finger gap.
I have a Goodyear 235/45/17 GT/HP tire on the left and Michelin Pilot Sport 235/45/17 on the right side. Could this be the problem?
Thanks.

The tires are of the same size so I don't see why this could be a problem.
btw, I've switched back to factory springs and shocks since then and the rear right is still about 1" bigger gap than my left. I suspect this has to do with the entire strut assembly on the right not aligned with that on the left.

eibach has a warenty bout sagging dont they??? call them up and ask them. most spring company do have warrenty on how their springs sag. but there is an exception i beleive. you have to use them on stock shocks. but i never heard this before, bout the sagging. i dont think it's the weight distrabution of the car because my tanabes are still sitting equally on all 4 corners and they are broken in, so no more sagging then what they are now. and the thing cutting springs, yes it is safe, but it doesnt really improve handling, you actually lose a lil bit of grip because of the less spring rate. you get a lower stance, but that is about it. had the hondas, and what not, and been through it all. if you wanna test the theory, get a set of lowering springs vs the cut springs and u will see what i'm talking about.
