Front end not even after Swift springs
 
Installed swift springs on my nismo two days ago, and the passenger side has about a finger and a half gap but the driver side has a little more than two fingers. I installed springs myself but can't figure it out.

Anyone else have/had this problem?

They will settle. Mine even continued to settle after 1000 miles. I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else with Swifts yet.

I'm at 7000 miles installed and there is a 1 finger gap on the passenger and just a hair more than a finger on the driver side. I actually like that my driver side sits a tad higher than the passenger side. I guess in my head I'm thinking that when I'm the only one in the car it will level out and be more balanced.

I just figured as long as the springs were installed with the Swift writing right side up, the drop should be ok

My suggestion is to not worry about it too much (like I did initially) then check the height after a couple weeks.

Also, the surface the car is sitting on may look perfectly flat, but it most likely isn't. You may want to pull the car in rear first or park somewhere else then measure. If there is a rise under one wheel, that side will seem to sit lower than the opposite side because the spring is being compressed more.

We all went through it. These springs settle quite a bit with time. Mine are quite lower than they were 6K miles ago.
