Is it an early 83 with the "two bolt" attachment of the strut tops in the front. If so, the spring length is different if you stil have the original type shocks and fitting a post 83 lowering kit, will easily make it sit wrong. After 83 the spring lower platform attachment height was moved. I can't remember what was the direction though...
