Eibach Springs Lowering Kit

Question, Anyone using this kit measure the ride height left side and right side center of wheels to the top of the fender? My dealer installed this kit an I noticed that the ride height was not the same. I also had a full tank of gas. The gas tank runs along the left frame rail. I did not measure before the install because the tech had already started, but really watched the install to the finish after I got there. After measuring both sides, called the Eibach Tech Line to ask about the ride height difference. Eibach tech suggested swapping both front sides and another ssr fanatic also suggested swapping both rears as well. Both were done. Can anyone measure and let me know if the ride height is the same or different(front and rear) . The measurements that I took were from center of each wheel to the top of the fenderwell to the ground. Thank you.

No difference on mine...

They have settled quite a bit over time though. I put mud guards on right after the intstall, and now they look angled from the springs relaxing.

When I installed mine there was a half inch difference. After a breif moment of panic, I calmed down. Eventually, so did the springs, settling out evenly and dropping another 1/2." My rim is no longer centered in my wheelwell as I had planned, but life is level side-to-side.

Make sure you get it aligned after you lower it,
I did and it made a difference.
