how long has it been since you lowered it? if it is recent it may have to settle still. if it has been awhile and it's VERY different from the other 3 corners I would dissassemble and reassemble it. Something probably isn't seated correctly.

Im havin' the same problem as well except that the front right side of my car sits a bit higher then the rest of the car. Now I was thinkin' if I take off the 3 nuts from the strut tower and rotate the strut you think that would work I've had it like this for at least 1 1/2 years now. any help would be appreciated.

1. the 3 bolts on the top of the strut only go in one way. they're spaced differently so they won't line up unless you've got it right.

2. make sure the bottom coil of the spring is seated correctly. looking at the bottom of the mount, you can easily see where the end of the spring should rest.

if you've still got height problems, I'd check to see where the weight is in the car. if you installed a system or something, make sure it's not off-balance. an extra 50lb on one side of the trunk can throw ride height to hell.
