Question One side got lowered more than the other with the lowering springs

I installed Tanabes NF215 two weeks ago and just day i noticed that on the rear, on the left side i can hardly insert my hand between the wheel and the fender, but on the right i can insert it very easely, there is like almos an inch of difference.

Have anybody had this type of problems with lowering springs, or could this be installation issues.

Thanks,

may need to just settle, I'd wait 2 weeks and then re-evaluate.

I have a 2nd Gen GS300 and i installed Bilstein Sport shocks w/ Tanabe GF210 springs. I believe the GF210's have the same drop as the NF210's albeit with a higher spring rate. My rear drivers side has barely any space to fit my hand through, but the passenger rear has a noticeable gap. Im not sure if its the springs but im thinking of swapping Espelir ASD springs.

this seems to be very typical on all IS's using springs. Some more then others... IS250, IS250AWD and even the IS350.

Do a search and you will see that this is teh case. My IS250AWD w/ TEIN H-tech also is higher on one side then the other.
