My car has always sat this way before my coilovers. I could never figure out why. Just that It bothers me lol. I was going to take the rear shock out and put some kind of spacer on it.

The passenger side sits about 3/4 of a inch higher. same for front and back. I thought coils would fix this but apparently not.

Any good ideas? I can see it sitting higher on the drivers side so when i get in it evens out.

perhaps tranny and driver weight comes into play?

That really doesn't sound right. Why would the front and back on one side be off? How are you measuring? Is it level when you measured?

i noticed this too. When I installed my coilovers I had to extend the driver's side a bit to compensate. I know when my fat ass get in the car it will lower it a little too. I measured with a tape ruler going from ground to middle of hub cap. and by hub cap i meant fender. the top point of fender.

LOL, I'm not that fat and I'm always happy. I lost this thread, I measured without me in it. So when I'm in it, the car sits even lower on the drivers side. You can visually see it also. I measured with a rule. From ground to fender. front and back driver side is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower than the whole passenger side

Its because you are constantly applying more pressure to the drivers side by sitting in a car. Over time the springs get more tired on that side because there is always consistently more weight compressing the spring. Springs wear out over time just like any other parts, usually its good to replace springs after second or third set of struts.

Ok, I understand that but it's always been like this. Now with the new suspension it's still the same lol.
