konis back in, but not right.

I've taken the flex out and reinstalled the konis but the left rear is sitting higher than the right rear, took it for a spin but its still the same??

Ican't see why it would have changed but are the spring perch heights the same? (there are 3 settings)
And possibly the springs (or even the dampener) aren't seated correctly?

I might take the wheel off again and check that the spring is seated right then measure, my driveway leans a tiny bit so maybe thats contributing slightly.

I had that happen to mine and I think the sway bar shifted to the side a bit. A wheel alignment fixed it all up.

check your top hat bolt and make sure that it's tighten down, if it hadn't the spring load would push up on the hat and so will raise that corner.
