Default Thumping, speed bump blues

I had my tanabe NF210s installed a few weeks ago. Loved everything about them. Last night I drove over the speed bump from hell, albeit slowly, and now I'm getting a thumping from the front wheel on every bump. I noticed that the left side of the car is a full (fat) finger lower than the right side now. I'm taking it in to my installer this week to check everything. Anyone know if this is a shock issue or a spring issue or see this happen before? Thanks in advance for any insight.

It sounds like your struts took a dump on you.... Typical OEM stuff from personal experience.
