Just wait 'til they settle. If the guy measured and tested it in their factory, you should be ok. If it doesn't settle and still the same height, well I think it's not the springs.... or maybe something that we don't really know.

Mine settled within a month. When it was first installed and being brought down from the lift, I saw a sexy drop that I fell in love with. It probably came down maybe 1/4" when it settled. Don't lose hope bro!

well coming down another 1/4 won't be enough. it's still at the same exact height that is was before i swapped the ones out that i had in for 3 months. the numbers they gave me are still way off from where they are now. i am really stumped. i even called the local dealer to see what they would say and they were stumped. they assured me there were no suspension changes for the 07 model or anything. the one tech who has a tc on H&R springs says his took 6 months to settle right.

i called hotchkis back just now. they asked me to call them back after i got the new ones in to see the result so i did. the guys over there are all great. they said they are gonna find an 07 to try them on themselves and call me back in probably a week or so. i'm not ____ed with them or anything, the car just looks very uneven. but they are great to work with. i'll keep you guys posted! :-)

Dang that sucks bro... Maybe there's a conflict with this combo:

07 tC + TRD Shocks + Hotchkis springs = uneven drop

I hope you get this fixed. That's all the help I think I could give. Keep us posted and good luck!

have you checked to see if the spring is seated properly on the strut? may be a dumb question or you may have checked already... just thought I would ask. good luck
