Default problem w/ spring/shock install, still uneven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

____ is driving me crazy. if you didnt install the rear shocks correctly the first time(when adding lowering springs) by making sure you aligned the top hat of the shock in realation to the angle at the bottom of the shock, would it still be possible to find the correct positioning of the shocks? we've tried to position the shocks like the oem shocks, we've tryed all the suggestions on this forum, we've turned these shocks almost everyway possible, my ride is leanin and it looks disgustin!!!!!!!!!!!!! eveyone here claims they have fixed the problem useing many different methods. any help would be appreciated.

You have the rear struts on the wrong side take them off and switch them I had the same problem, and I just changed mine today and everything is perfect. I know the two struts look the same but there not. One side accually tightens down more when you impact it. just take them off and switch the 2 rears......let me know how it turns out...

beats me, i didn't even follow the directions, my htechs are different from my stock one so i didn't align the springs exactly. all i aligned was the bottom where the spring suppose to be and just adjusted the top part manually to fit the rear.
