    so my mtechnic is lower on the passenger side

    Eversince I've owned it, I've always thought it sat kinda lopsided. I finally measured the corners from the centercap to the top of the wheel well and found out its sitting about 1/2 inch lower on the passenger side. Any ideas on what could cause this? shocks or springs?

    Could be worn parts....maybe mismatched springs. Is this car completely stock or did you get it with mods installed?

      Sounds like your springs might be saging unevenly I would Jack the car up and see if the springs are fully seated in the spring perchs..

        Thanks, I'll check the spring pads. Only mods on it were a LSD and offset control arm bushings.

                Most cars come like that from the factory. Have someone around 180lbs sit in the driver's seat, it'll be even.

                    yup, mines a couple
                    i think it might have something to do with the battary on that side
                    i'm doubtful but thats the onlything thats on one side but not the other
