Installed my lowering springs today..!

Thats right.
I installed my NF210 Tanabe lowering springs today and it took about 7Hrs., :o It was my first time tho.The drop looks better then I thought and a bit lower too.I will take some photos tomorrow when it is light out to show but I forgot to get before photos to have before and after shots,Oops.
I have a guestion tho.My driver side sits lower then the passenger side a bit.I didnt tighten the upper control arms on the front all the way untill I set the car on the ground and took it around the block 1 time.I read that it may take a few days to settle all the way but I will ask anyways.

Here is the measurments:

FRONT= DS 4 1/4 PS 4 1/2
REAR== DS 3 1/2 PS 4"

As you may be able to tell the front is about 1/4" off and the rear is 1/2" off,Is this ok?I kinda wish both rears were at 3 1/2",It looks nice.If anyone can make any sence out of what Im trying to say here feel free to help me out.

The car was not on a flat surface or you didn't tighten properly.

Try measuring from the ground to the bottom of the frame.
