maybe you put a rear spring upside down, or are you sure you bought real ones and not knock offs

Also find a level area and measure from the ground to the highest part of the fender, write down then compare

have 4 people at each door open them and then jump on the car at the same time if that doesnt work u most likely bought knock offs or did a bad install

You might be looking at it on uneven surfaces. I thought my car had a blown strut because it looked super low compared to the other side but my driveway isn't perfectly level.

I had Sportlines on my 2008 LS before it got wrecked. I installed them myself, so I know it was correct. One side was always a **** hair higher than the other.

It's the same with every lowered Cobalt I've ever seen.
