Again your rear springs are not sitting right properly. You just need to rotate them.. My rear suspension looks fine.. They have the same measurement...
I just dropped my car in the shop to have them re-install it.

btw, that's the pics of the front springs...

Just picked up my car and the rear (driver side) still higher than the passenger side...

I know someone said that the driver side is made to be higher than the passenger, but this one is about half an inch different!!!

Is that what supposed to be???

Sorry, what did you mean by the a "pingky width" more? Is that means a small difference?

How about the front springs? Does the end of the spring should be all the way through to the "end portion" of the spring pad?

Bro - Your car is fine. That's the right height difference from the left to right side. Did you read my post earlier?

Enjoy your car. It's fine.

Thanks for the input and yes I read your post.. But, why someone mtw1116 has the same measurement between the right and the left? Also, logically, what makes the height difference between the right and the left height since the struts (shocks) and springs can go to any sides?

How about the front springs installation? is that correct or should it be rotated?

Thanks
