More body roll to right side after S.Tech spring install

Hi all,
Installed my S.Techs last week and over the weekend I've noticed during spirited cornering the car seems to have a lot of body roll and feels more unstable during left hand turns. My first thought is that I damaged the strut during the install, but I'm hoping there is something else that could be causing it, I checked all my bolts over again and they all seem to be in order.

Did you reconnect the swaybar endlinks? Did you do that with all four wheels on the ground? Ride height equal on all corners? Spring preload somewhat equal on all sides?

Ride height all equal, preloaded all the same (using a jack). I only disconnected the rear sway bar, the front I was able to remove the shock assembly without removing the stabilizer bar. And it mostly seems to be the right front end that is rolling/diving.
