Default Suspension problem

Was hoping to make this post to show my new set up, but I need some advice!

I ordered the Eibach pro-kit and a set of Bilstein shocks to change the look and ride of the car.

The car went onto the lift and the install went relatively smoothly. While I was at it, I installed the front camber bolts and some adjustable rear camber arms to help with the probable change in camber (ordering the kmac kit for the front later.. it's expensive!).

I dropped the car and measured the gaps; they were all reasonable so i thought I'd go for a ride to help everything settle. The car was already looking great!

Then the problem.. after 5 minutes of driving I heard a clunk form the front right wheel over bumps and whatnot, so I went back home to investigate. I instantly noticed it dropped nearly 3/4 to 1 inch compared to the other side.. so I jacked it up and saw it was rubbing pretty badly after the short drive.

I put it back on the lift and checked everything, and all was supposedly well. I asked my dad and he suggested it may be the spring. So a new set was ordered (at no cost ) to install two new front springs to see if the old were defective.

Put them in, dropped the car, and went for another drive. No real issues! now about a day later I am noticing once again nearly 3/4 of an inch difference between the two front wheels.

I'm really not sure what could be wrong, and the only thing left would be to try a bigger spring pad. I'm just tired of taking this stuff apart haha. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyways, that's my introduction!
A thread isn't a thread without pics, so i'll post some soon!
