I just installed new front shocks and lowering springs. One side is a quarter of an inch higher than the other side. . .

What are you measuring? Gap in the wheel wells?

That's about as even as most Deloreans get! Anyway you'll have to wait 500 miles or so for the springs/isolator bushings to settle in before seeing an accurate post "settlement" ride height regardless of whose suspension it is.

If you still have OEM bushings, those can put some different forces on each side. You should tighten the bushings with the weight of the car on the wheels. Both upper and lower bushings can do that. Maybe your new springs are shorter and you need to loosen and re-torque those. The Poly bushings don't have that problem since the inner pipe slides in the bushing.

Truthfully if you're within 1/4-inch I think you're doing pretty well.
