rear suspension problem

Today as I drove to school, I noticed my rear wheels had different gaps. The driver side had approximately 1.5 finger gaps, and the passenger side had 4 finger gaps. I'm on stock wheels, and T1R springs. Recently installed the J's rear strut bar, could this be the problem? Many thanks.

It sound's like it could be(maybe you tightened one side too much).I would take off the strut bar first and see if there was a difference.If not,maybe you put a lowering spring in upside down(It happened to 1 of my old car's when I took it to a shop) If that doesn't cure it,Take To Dealer.Keep us updated and Good Luck.

i had similiar issue, although not that much of a difference... let the springs settle in and see if it gets better.

If you didn't check to see if the antisway bar was flat as supplied and even height both sides when installed thats probably it. If the bar is not flat it will be twisted when installed which of course raises one side compared to the other. Course you should check the ride height before and after installation of both springs and antisway bar. Or shocks for that matter. Thats after you make sure theres no weight differential.
