Default TRD springs question

I just got TRD springs installed on my car this morning. It looks nice, but front left and rear left is more lowered than the front right and rear right. Is that normal?

Btw it was done by dealership.
Thanks

are you sure you're not on a slope?

it could also be due to a full gas tank, but that usually just effects the rear left...

My gas tank is 1/4 full so I don't think that's a problem.

It was way too much. I should've done it by myself 375 for the installation

That's how my TRD Springs were when I first got them installed. They will 'settle' after a few weeks to where as you won't be able to tell the difference. (Like milimeters off.) Don't sweat it.

Here's a pic the day after the install...

Here's how they sit now...

I the TRD Springs! I knew exactly what I wanted (little bit lower, more aggressive stance) and that's what I got! As you can see, the drop is noticable at first. Gets better as Springs 'settle'. Install them! NOW!

That's nothing, my dealer told me it would be almost $700 just to install! Then like $90 for alignment. I only found one shop that would do it. every other shops wont touch aftermarket springs.

It takes a little while for it to settle. Mine took 1,000 miles to finally settle completely.
