car level

Before I put my springs in, i noticed that my car was not all the way level. I thought that putting my springs in would change that, but they didnt, my car is now 1 finger gap in the back wheel on the drivers side and 2 on the passenger. Has anyone had this same problem and is there any way to fix it, i was thinking maybe sway bars would do it, but im not very smart when it comes to this kind of stuff. Thanks for the help.

Depends on the springs guy. . Certain springs for our cars lower the back a bit more than the front to even it out. Some lower it even, which makes a lower version of the stock height with the back in the air. . So .. it depends on the springs. The bars wont help with that.. The best way to customize it is with coilovers, but if you are just going with springs you have go get a set that lower the back more than the front so it looks more even . Or you just have to deal with it. .

Woooh .. That's very odd. Are you sure you put the springs on the right wheels? I've never heard of that happening. Unless your struts are locked up or the springs didn't pop in on the one side. Anyways. that's still beyond the control of a strut bar.
