Hi,
I installed F-sport springs about 3 weeks ago and today when washing the car, I measured and found that the right rear is a quarter inch lower than the right rear.
I measured when parked on leveled ground with about 3/4 gas in the tank. In a slight incline, the difference is about 1/2". I also measured the tires and both rears are the same size. The front is leveled. Anyone else experience the same thing? What might have caused this?
thanks in advance.

It's not just a Lexus thing...
Not so sure how true this is, but I read somewhere that because in Japan cars are RHD, the right side naturally would bare more weight than the left majority of the time (a car always has a driver but not necessarily a passenger) and that the springs may have been designed more for RHD cars than LHD cars. I don't know if this suggests that the right springs are stiffer or a bit longer than the left though. Again, I am not so sure how true this is but it's really the only explanation I've seen.
