Zenn Spring HELP

I looked today and noticed that my passenger side and driver side rear end were different heights. So i looked under the car and noticed that the springs looked completely different as well. Maybe one is upside down or something? But i didnt think that it mattered. any help please.

Driver Side spring under load



Passenger side spring




The dirver side sits significantly lower then the passenger side as well.

Any Help is greatly appreciated

Maybe it's just me, but the driver's side spring doesn't look like it's compressed right...it should look more like the passenger side (at least I think it should...)...bad spring or not seated correctly?

You have the one side installed wrong.

Both should have the coils tight on the bottom, not the top.

I've heard it can take as long as 2 weeks to a month.
