Uneven suspension - Help!

Hi all,

I had a broken coil and shocks on my 86 300E (124). I changed the pairs of coils and shocks on both driver and passenger side. Now, as seen in the attached pictures, the passenger side sits about couple of inches higher the driver side. It has been few weeks now and it is still uneven.

Initially the dealer had sold me the wrong coils and the mechanic thought the diferrence in height is due to that. (one of the coils was sitting with a curve). But once we got the correct ones the problem was still there. The correct parts had the same number of dots of paint on them, three yellow, one blue.

I am not sure what would cause this and what I can do to fix it. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks.
