ok so I installed my mm cc plates and notice my right front side is higher then my left side, about 1" difference. break down of how its set up: stock springs 1 coil cut, kyb struts ( for 99-04) MM cc plates and upr bump steer kit. struts on driver side isn't blown took it out and checked it. what can be causing this. still haven't gotten it aligned if that makes a difference

Saggy spring is all I could think of. Swap springs see how it goes

worn springs, isolators, spacers for the cc plates not installed correctly, weight of the battery on the driver side...?

springs not clocked or installed in there spot correctly, alignment will do funny shit as well, i had a stock spring pocket partially crushed before, i had to install a home made spacer to bring level, and just because its not level in the front dont think it has nothing to do with the back of the car. the back can twist or can contort what u see in the front and vise versa. this is the stuff i would check first as it should be your first set of things to check, everything else is small adjustments after your base settings.
