my friend has a '02 civic EX with H&R springs. the drop is 1.3'' and he's riding on stock shock absorbers since he got the springs put in (4 months). recently the rear drivers side started to sag a little you could fit 1.5 fingers in the rear drivers side, and 2 in the rear passanger side. well its sagging more now and you could only fit one finger in the wheel well now, while the rear passanger side stays the same. does anyone know what the problem is? does he have a blown shock absorber?

sounds like a blown shock.
Lift up that side and take the tire off. Look to see if there is any oil leaking from the shock. while your under there, check if there is any other damage that could be causing the sag.

The drivers side tends to blow a little faster because most on and off ramps on the highway make the car lean to the drivers side thus putting more pressure on the stock shocks.
