Default 1.5" drop gone bad

Last nite i installed a set of tein dress up masters on my 99 accord lx. the problem I am having is that the driver side rear is exactly 1" lower than the others. What can I do to get the 1" back to the right height? When I compressed the springs when installing the new one to place the locking nut atop of the busing I did the same exact amount of turns on the spring compressors to ensure the install went ok...no cigar on this one now I need help!

the springs that are $200?
if you have the money return those and get coilovers...

if not try reinstalling them so you don't have an extra dip on the driver side.

Thanks for the feed back guys I really appreciate it. I would have shyt myself if it did collapse....lol I figured it out though. when I compressed the spring to place the cap back on, when I put on the washer that goes over the bushing I realized I tightened down the locking nut all the way, instead of the 1/4 inch from the top of the bolt crown. Long story short I fixed it and it was just right, thanks again for the feed back.
