My H&R springs have been on a little while now an have finally settled. I have noticed that the driver side is lower than the passengers side. 2 fingers don't slide in the gap on the drivers side rear but do on the passenger rear. Is this typical?

Define a little while? I have H&R springs, uneveness is a symptom of still being in the settling phase.
 
Know of any friends that weigh as much as me.......... take them riding once in a while......... Or load the right part of the trunk, and passenger floor board for a month plus......
 
I didn't have a problem with mine not being level from side to side,I'll check when I get home what kind of gap I have but it looks the same on both sides.I would think they would have settled completely by now but I'm not sure.
 
Sorry I don't have H&R springs no more because I just installed Megan Street Coilover couples weeks ago.
 
On the right side it's usually just me and a backpack I almost never have passengers except for my girlfriend but nothing in excess

That's why I'm suggesting weighting the right side, to get it to settle.............
 
Has anyone thought about maybe these springs are not tuned balanced......... Like putting a weight on each spring and measuring the compressed length, before installing?
 
Well... Here it is.

Mine ain't too bad when I think about. Just whenever I park near a curb does it emphasize the gap on the driver side. Haha.
