Default Ride Height off.. HELP ASAP!

I have a 93 SC400 and it feels (and looks) like the driver side is 1-1.5 inches lower than the passenger side... What parts beside the springs could be causing this to happen? Please respond ASAP, I am bringing the car in to have a new set of Eibach's installed on Monday, and maybe I could get all of this done at once.. Thanks in advance for your help!

Springs most likely aren't "seated" right in the perch. There are rubber tops on the springs that are form fitted to accept the spring. If you dont "fit" the spring into it, it will make the car unbalanced. Check it out. Simple to fix if thats the problem.

Keith.....I just installed some Eibach's the other day(so far only on the back) and whenever I hit a bump the back of the car does a "da clunk" noise. It sounds like a big thing a metal is flying up then landing hard. I looked under my car last night and on the left side the spring isn't locked in place....at least the bottom isn't....its like an inch and a half away. Could this be the problem?
