Thats odd, usually peeps say that its leans to the left(drivers side). Leaning to the left is asctually normal since its heavier on that side. Theres even a TSB that says this is normal. Did you mean left or right side?

From my measurements, the left side is about a 1/4" lower, this is normal I believe.

A Seinfeld episode comes to mind. The one where Newman was in a van and they later found that the van's shocks collapsed. LOL Maybe that's the problem though? Did you drive over some really rough pavement (only on the passenger's side)?

Get some quality springs and Konis and that should solve your problem. That would suck if it didn't though :\

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
maybe it's just your springs trying to settle. try putting weight on the other side. this happened to me with my coilovers, but it eventually leveled out
