Default 96 civic, passenger side of the car sits higher then the driver side

like the title says, I have a 96 coupe dx. Stock springs the passenger side sat higher then the driver side. So, I dropped it with springs in hopes of correcting the problem but nope Now my driver side is sittin nicely with no wheel gap at all, however my passenger side only dropped about a quarter inch.

I tried searching but couldn't find **** .. I know some people have had this problem before

maybe the chasis is bend from a wreck or something.... cause that's the only thing i can come up with but i'm no expert so.... idk maybe the shocks are bad and it's just sagging?

New shocks ! before buying them try pushing ont he carners to make sure the are not sticking or seized completely check for fluid around the cartridge(were the shiny pole goes into the usually black thing) if it is not moving freely about 3inches you could have strut problems.
