So my driver's front side is about 1 finger lower than my passengers front side, i'm on tein-h springs. Did I do something wrong or should i get anything checked out?

If you've got high miles on your original suspension, could just be a weak/blown strut. Part of it is because there is more weight on that side of the car. Driver + Battery + Transmission. The passenger side is a ghost town in comparison.

It's got 95k miles, original suspension. Maybe that could be the reason?

Have you had your springs on there for a most of that? From what I know most people recommend you get new struts when you get new springs, or at least in a few thousand miles since your stock suspension is set up to be at stock height and not anything lower. You probably have a weak or blown strut like stenger said.

Scion uses Tokico struts, which are pretty good for factory struts. Most companies who design and produce springs for the Scion lines, design them to work with factory struts. But they do tend to wear out the factories quicker.

If you're just now putting them on, and you have 95K miles, probably time to replace them. I think most manufacturers give the struts 65K miles of life. But of course, driving style, road conditions, driver weight, gross load on vehicle, ect. can all accelerate the wear.

Look on the factory struts to see if there is any oil seeping from them. Also give the car a few good bounces with your hands pressing down on the body. If it's really soft, you'll know its on the way out.

As far as replacing them goes, I would look into Tokico Blues (even though I think they are re-painted factories), KYB GR-2 (really liked these on my old xb1) Koni yellow (pricey but adjustable and worth every penny. what I am about to replace my coilovers with).

My car woobles a lot when you push it, so that could actually be the reason.

It's normal apparently due to all the weight on the left side of the card. I switched out my suspension years ago with about 15K on stock and after my new setup it was about a finger inch shorter on my left with H-techs and TRD shocks.

Yeah it just a finger different on the front driver side than the passanger.
