So I put the stock suspension back, but now the rear looks funny

Most likely I will take it back to the shop this Saturday I'll ask how they they did the install, and if the car was still on the lift or not. I'm 100% sure that it was, they only had one free lift that day. Anyway, maybe they'll loosen up the bolts, adjust the height either with a jack while the car is on the lift or by other means and then retighten everything.

When I lowered my Camry the installer (buddy of mine) tightened everything while it was on the lift too and I drove that car for years and the height didn't change a bit ever since the day I got the springs installed. It settled right away and it doesn't take months to settle.
And when my friend returned his Camry back to stock springs (they have been sitting uncompressed for years too), it only looked funny for a few mins, but after he drove around for a few mins all 4 corners settled at the right height and not lopsided.

I got to try a different shop.
Yeah, I think all I needed is to clear the error codes. It seems to be working now, even though I don't hear any buzzing sound anymore when I switched to Sport+ mode.

Try going to a shop that specializes in suspension and Firestone auto care and the likes do not count.

I'll be returning mine to stock soon because my lease is up. I'll let you know how it turns out. This thread makes me want to return it to stock sooner than later to give it time to settle haha. Although I doubt it, it should settle within an hour of driving through some uneven surfaces.

Took the car back 4 times. They did all sorts of checks, including losing up the bolts and letting the weight do its magic. They also double checked if everything was seated properly. Long story short, the car is still too high. It did however, settle down by maybe a few milimeters, but still higher compared to other cars I see on the road. With full tank it does not look as bad anymore.

U took it back to the same place right?
So the sand bags trick didn't work, I think u need a different shop.

Damn, I'm glad you posted a picture of the entire car. If I'd seen just the wheel gap I might have thought it was an unloaded Ford F150.
