Default Eibach's make my GS seem lopsided

I just put eibachs and kyb gr2's on my 1998 gs. I found out that my ball joints, ( right, maybe left too) are bad. However, I also notice that the car seems to sit heavier to the left (driver's side) Is it possible the springs were placed on wrong. I have never herad of a GS that sits like this.

Maybe it was installed incorrectly....or it just needs some time to settle in.

Make sure the springs are sitting correctly on the mount.
If the spring is not turned in all the way, it can change the height.
I posted this with picture https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=164725

All ths shops I've asked to fix this said they have to reinatall the whole assembly.
I found a spring compressor that is small enought to compress the spring in place and turn it.

Other than the stated prolbem, what is your impression so far with Eibach and KYB combo? Hope you have it fixed soon.

not trying to steal your thread, but you guys know if the eibach's would work with bilstein HD shocks? these aren't the sports, they are the HD's which are oem length.
