one side lower?

ive got neuspeed race springs and ive had em on for like 3 months now so its not just the springs settling but one side of my car is about 1/4" lower than the other , its not noticeable unless you actually compare the wheelwells on both sides but its still bugging me , why is it like this?

Your springs may be faulty and have actually weakened. Check to see if there are any cracks or even take the wheels off and check the length of each one. Do you have any excess weight on the lower side?

Well just sitting in your car makes more weight in the driver side... I heard someone before recommend that you try and take passengers more when the springs are settling i guess it makes sense.... what side is lower on yours?

Springs are expected to settle significantly, just so you newbies know

check to see how the springs are orientated. i heard it makes a difference in stangs if the springs are not situated the same on both sides, might be true with your car too.

I measured my ride height before installing my coilovers, and the stock suspension was a half inch lower on my drivers side. Im not really sure why, its not like im big or anything.
