I just put in my IPD springs, Bilstein rear and Koni front shocks and I'm very happy over all, however I noticed that my driver side rear wheel gap is about an inch or so bigger than the passenger rear (fronts are fine). I know this sounds stupid, but its going to drive me crazy until I fix it. Any ideas on what I could have done wrong?

Might need some time for the suspension to settle.

My front is 1/2" lower than my rear, and all 4 wheels have a nice bit of tuck. Once the jerk end settled, it got better, but front is still lower. The pictures I have don't show it that well, seeing as I lowered the front another 1/4" this weekend. I love it.
