Question About Lowering

Alright I've had my car lowered for about two weeks now, and as I was looking at my car today I noticed that one of the corners is much lower then the other side. To be more specific driver side rear seems far too low. It seems as though that one is too low and the front right is too high. Now I check the spring at the rear (the one that is low) to make sure its the right one, and not one for the fronts and it is. Now my question is, I also have Tokico Illuminas. Is it possible that the messed up the front shock from the rear? Or would that make a difference. Or is it that they mixed up one of the front springs for a rear spring. These are Eibach Pro Kits by the way. So it should in theory be lower in the front then the rear.

no you can't put the front shocks on the rear....

as for messing up the springs no Idea you'd have to compare all 4 of them.. sometimes it takes springs a bit of time to settle 2 weeks isn't much time...

these are not coilovers right?
