Default One side is lower

my 95 Accord is little bit lower on the passenger side, what do you think is causing this?

replace shocks and springs, I thought that might be the problem but not, tires are the same size, shocks are not broken.

thanks

Did you replace the springs with aftermarket or stock? Also, how are you measuring difference? Is it to fenderwell? There's a spec to either the control arm or a shock bolt I think to the ground and that is the only accurate way to measuring ride height. Also, it the ground level? fully filled fuel tank? What's the actual difference you're seeing?

I've seen it uneven from time to time with aftermarket springs. So yours are stock or not?

does it just look lower or have you actually measured it. keep in mind that most streets are designed to slope to the right for drainage purposes, so that could explain why your passenger side seems lower.
