Advice on suspension
I just noticed that my ej8 is sitting a little lower on the drivers side (not with my fat *** in the car), curious if it could be my springs or shocks/struts.
Suspension setup is Ground Control coil-overs with Eibach springs. Shocks/struts are just some cheap *** Monroe gas shocks/struts.
I realize that I could just lower the right side to match, but don't want to go the lazy route. Anyway way to tell if the shocks are tired? Thanks for the advice.

If the car has always sat like that, then it's probably a blown shock if the car is sitting too low. A car can sit low with stock shocks, you just gotta know how to drive it

To clarify, owned the car for almost 3 years now, just noticed that the drivers side of the car is sitting a little lower than the passenger side (this just happened, not something that has gone on for a while).
I was just seeing if I should get new springs or new shocks, or both. Just looking for a little advice. I might start with new shocks/struts and go from there.

Re: Advice on suspension (sicky)
I thought this was common with our cars as the engine sits closer to the drivers side, and also the drivers seat is always occupied, thus possibly bringing the L/S down a little.
I've had three different aftermarket sus. setups, and I think its always been like that.
Another possibility is uneven pavement. My wheel gap ranges when parked on uneven pavement. but when i go to the store and park in a large lot, all corners are even.
If your car is riding like crap, i'd change the shocks anyways
