Apexi Coilover issue

May I am still fighting the uneven monster on my suspension. I just installed a set of Apexi coilovers and it still sits lower on the front driver and rear pass than on the front pass and rear driver. I am not sure what to do to make it sit even.

If anyone has any ideas or tricks to correct this i will appreciate this.

Here are a couple of shots:

Was the car ever in an accident? Are the control arms bent?

The easy solution is lower one side to match the other via the spring perches.

Not that I know of. The control arms are or seem in good condition. I just don't understand how the front left and rear right are lower than front right and rear left.

I just noticed that i have the front to coil overs flipped. Meaning the labels on the say FR and FL, but I don't think that matters.

I will have to get a set of Control arms and check to see if they are a little off maybe from a pot hole or something.
