    Default un-even stance after being lowered??

    hey guys and girls, i drive a VY S II and just had my car lowered (professional, not DIY) and 2 weeks later i have noticed that it now sits un-even. the left rear is lower than the right rear?? i can only just squeez my hand between the gaurd and the trye on the left rear (how i want it) but on the right side i hav plenty of room for my hand to move up and down between the trye and the gaurd? i havnt measure exactly but at a guess i would say its about 5mm higher than the left side.
    any ideas why this has happened??
    thanks

    its only 5mm but its so annoying! if i got it dont by professionals i expect it to be done right. how did they fix yours? and i heard from a friend that it could be a rotated spring but it shouldnt happen in the first place?

    mine sits the same too. but it was installed by the last owner +3 years ago (by a profesional shop).
    havnt been bothered to try fix it.
    if they have a solution, please tell is and maybe i can do it to mine...but im thinking of baging the rear of mine.

    Either the spring isn't seated properly or they are uneven in their stiffness/height.

    Now that it's lowered it is a lot easier to get the springs in and out, swap the rears left to right and see if it makes a difference. If not, then swap the fronts.
