I've replaced the front struts today and kept the old springs. New top hats and shocks(Detroit Axle cheap shocks). Fitment was perfect expect for passenger side bottom strut was giving me a little problem where it was twisted a little for bolt to go through easily. I ran the bolt through with 1/4 inch extension. After I'm done with the work, I've notice the passenger side sits higher than driver side. I drove around a block before torqued the bottom strut bolts down to give a suspension to settle.
It seems like passenger side is sitting higher than usual. About 1/2 inch to an inch or so. Its bordering me. Does anyone have such an experience like this? Car still drive straight and steering wheel clocked right as well... I don't get it.

 

I would suggest looking at the strut again for anything unusual. Then take it to an alignment shop to get their input and get an alignment on the car to stop it from eating the tires.

 

Are you sure the springs are seated correctly? Also, is there any reason you bought really cheap struts?
