uneven stance
 
Had steeda sport springs/bumpsteer kit/ball joints, bilstein shocks/struts, and MM c/c plates installed by a very reputable shop on Friday. Right when I got home I noticed that the drivers side looked a bit lower than the passenger side. I took some measurements today and sure enough the drivers side dropped 1", and the passengers side only 1/2". Any ideas why? All the pigtails are facing the driver side.

Give the springs some time to settle.

I think this is more common than we think with lowered stangs. My car has a slight .25 uneven stance and other people have experienced it. Alot of times it is only noticeable if you measure accurately.
Ways to fix: Make sure everything is installed correctly and tightly. Wait a while and see if it settles any.

What is the proper way the lower pigtails should be facing? I always thought that it is towards the driver side. One guy is telling me that they should be facing back, and another guy is saying that they should be facing out.

The rear springs pig tales should be facing towards the drivers side. The front pig tails need to be lined up with the holes in the LCA's.

Yeah, both rear ones should be point towards the driver's side. Front ones should cover one of the two hols in the pocket of the LCA. (same thing 03gtmustang said basicly)

or maybe its cuz your frame is bent. Did u ever think maybe it can also b cuz the driver side takes more wear and tear. O wait u do have new springs but do check the frame

Had the car put on a lift and checked when I bought it 2 years ago. Frame was straight. 8 months after I bought it I had MM frame connectors installed. Frame shouldn't be bent. Car sat fine on the stock springs.

This is a common issue from what I see. Check out Global West, they sell spacers for the rear to even things up.

Looks like those spacers go on the rear control arms. I don't want to raise anything. I want to drop the passenger side that 1/2" that it is off if possible.

Do you have a adjustable rear pan-hard bar? Why I'm asking is sometimes the rear sits off abit if not adjusted correctly for weight of driver or without. Stock mustangs dont have this adjustable pan-hard bar. I've seen the difference be off by 1/2 inch and make the sitting in front do the same as the weight is settling. Can be changed pending on amount of feul your carring as well. It's hard to tell with out seeing the car.:t:

no panhard bar here. it's not just the rear. the passenger front and rear is 1/2" higher than the driver side.
