One side lower than other on Eibach Prokit

I have a quick question...

Does anyone know why the wheel gap on my rear right wheel is less than one finger while the left rear wheel gap is 2 finger gap? Anyway to fix this?

I'm dropped on Eibach Prokit with Ingalls camber kit and bolts.

thanks

Try switching the springs from left to right to see if the height difference follows the spring. It may just be a seating issue. Are you measuring on a level surface? Also confirm the part numbers on the springs are the same left to right.

I always thought suspension companys did this so when the driver gets in, it levels the car out. My dads 335i has the sport pack and leans to the right until he sits down in the car, and it becomes even.

so i went to get a body shop to check it out and the result was the struct on that side blew...

so now I'm either going to have to buy new structs for the two back wheels... or save up money to buy for all 4 structs OR save up and get Skunk2 Pro S Coilovers...

which one should I invest in?

Interesting

Well, in that case, I think you should put on an extra 400 pounds of body weight.
