Re: NEW SPRINGS,, SITS UN LEVEL
did u cut off the same amount on both sides? did u seat them properly? they have to be seated in the Aarm pocket correctly, and did u use the isolators on the top of the spring for the kmember? if u forgot one or one is worn more than the other it could make them uneven, same as not cutting the same off or seating them perfectly.

Ill have to look to see where the springs are located as to the holes in the arms, -- POSSABLY its the springs isolator, as it didnt want to stay on top of spring, and wanted to roll off.--But i taped it on.

Re: NEW SPRINGS,, SITS UN LEVEL
I had that problem before. Like a n00b I installed one of the front springs out of pocket. It can make about a One inch difference.
All I can say is after you mess with the spings and stuff measure the car.
