Default Help with drop gone wrong.

Does anyone know how the Koni Red Rear Strut perches adjust? Originally i took my car in and got new struts/springs, and the shop had my perches at the lowest level. I had to take the car back a few days later because the shop had cut and installed the rear perches upside down, and cut them becuase they could not get them to fit..... ya ya i know there dumb. Anyway, when the new perches came in, the shop installed the new ones, but now the perches are up almost an inch from the lip they normally sit on, at the lowest point. I think the perch on the rear left is sitting lower than the perch on the right side, causing my car to sit a little higher on the back right only. I am so sick of having problems.... 3 times back to the shop to get the things fixed, and now once i thought all the things were fixed, i notice my car sits higher in the back right which bugs the heck out of me. What do i do? Even when looking in the back 2 wheel wells the springs look different, you can see 1 extra coil on the higher side..... Are the perches able to be adjusted w/o taking the springs/struts off? BTW- the springs are Eiback Pro Kits. I never asked the shop to raise the perches in the back, ever and so i dunno why when i took the car back, they would have raised the perches. OR is this due to the springs settling? Do the springs settle at different rates? Myabe the back left has settled, and the back right hasnt?

thanks
Sean

I just took some pics....

Your problem is the Pro-Kits, they are to little of a drop. Thats basicly what you get right there. And I didn't think the Koni-Red's had adjustable perches, just the yellow.

sorry but its NOT normal for one side of the car to be higher than the other. period. Im not complaining about the height, im complaigning about the DIFFERENCE in ht......And yes the perches ARE adjustable becuase they are an inch higher than they were when the shop first installed them. And in the install instuctions it stated how to adjust them.
