I dont know that it is possible but did you put the rear springs on one side an the front springs on the other? I have not dug that deep into my suspension yet to know if that is possible, although I am about to soon...

Everything was installed correctly..my car previously had kyb struts/shocks and ground control coilovers but I noticed that they had the right side dropped all the way down and the left side adjuted a lil higher to make the car even...I doubt it is the suspension itself. I just would like to help.
Like what should I check first. Common bushings that go bad.. I think the problem is evolving from the rear because my left wheel has camber while my right one is straight. Need some help this is becoming a headache.

If you have access to a chssis lift, put it in the air and have a look. The lifting of the car my pop a strut back into place when the weight is lifted.If not, try the bouncing thing. hmm, wait. new struts and springs and It's still like that. Have a look at both subframes and see if they are bent. Look a lower and upper control arms and look at the hubs and spindles. If suspension is new, sounds like the subframe to me.
