You probably just installed them wrong. Did you preload the spring before tightened the rest of the suspension down? Did you make sure the springs were sitting properly in the stirrups when installing? Also, take a couple pics and show us.

Mine took 3 weeks to completely lower and level out, give it a couple days and see if they settle at all. Is the ground level? It may look level but you may be on a slight hill which could give the look that its lopsided.

They take a while to settle so you know. When I put mine on I couldnt even tell a difference at first. To be honest it settled so slow that I didnt notice a difference until 2 weeks later when I scraped my front on a parking curb that my car used to clear

Yeah, I've noticed mine are definitely getting lower...and lower... they started out looking like a minor but attractive drop, now they are looking a bit more "slammed". The handling is still great and I had my camber adjusted to compensate for the drop, but it definitely doesn't reach it's full drop for a while.
