Default TRD springs uneven?

I just lowered my car this past weekend with the TRD springs with a buddy of mine. All went well but now when i look at the car it seems that the left rear is slightly lower than the rest of the car. It's only about 1 finger or so but it's kind of annoying to see that this one side is a little lower. Did anyone else with TRD springs have this problem, and would this be caused by maybe the fuel tank being located on the rear left?

this has been posted many times and whenever the problem is fixed it is because the spring is not seated properly in the shock rest.

I would say take apart the left rear and put it back together and turn the spring until it sits at the lowest position on the shock rest.

If it still is off from the rest of the car, drive the car for a few days for the springs to settle then check, if it is STILL wrong, you'd have to contact the place you bought them and most likely return them for another set, but of course that would mean a total disassemble of your shocks again, and either keep it lifted for a few days to a week or put on your old shocks and springs AND re-do the entire shock set when you get your new springs.

You may have a better chance of contacting TRD and telling them you have a defective spring that was "professionally installed" and checked to be shorter than the rest of the springs and they may be able to send you JUST another spring.

OR

as most people have done, deal with it.

my rear is pretty much fully tucked into the wells, and the front is much higher...almost an inch, is this normal for everyone? and the dealer installed them so the "should've been done right" since i was charged out the ___ for it

my right rear is starting to settle more. I don't think it's THAT much lower than my fronts but i'm still going to redo them this weekend.
