If your car is uneven you need to make sure the rest of your suspension arms aren't bent.
If your VSC light is on, turn your wheels and check for your sensors (they're located in the back of each hub) and if the lines are broken or damaged (they can be internally by just stretching them too much) then you need to have them replaced or you'll start seeing your brakes erratically not working over certain road conditions, and your speedo/mileage will stop recording. They're expensive to replace as well ($200) ea.
Take your car back to the shop who replaced your shocks, tell them they need to recheck your ABS system and recheck your sensors. IF they broke them while in their possesion then you need to have them replace them. The sensors don't just "go bad". Never seen that happen. If they refuse to replace them I suggest you get on your phone with your cc or bank and try to appeal the transaction that you paid for to get the shocks installed.
Don't place rca on one side of the car. It's defeating the purpose of having a rca.
Once you get that lights and everything else sorted out, take your car to a specialized alignment shop, and tell them that you want an alignment and that you want them to look at your car to make sure everything is in spec in terms of all of your suspension.
they fixed the VSC, says one of the calipers was sticking.... 200$ but its fixed abs tested ok..... also said everything checked out... no bent parts.... just not sure why its not level???? really bothers me.....

Caliper sticking causes VSC?
If your caliper was sticking you would A) hear it -- grinding/sanding sound, B)feel it -- as in your car would stop at angles etc.
You just got shafted $200.00 which as I said was the cost of the sensor.
