MY pass. side sits lower. It's like that with every car. That's why we have coilovers to balance out the weight of the different sides.

Your pass. side normally sits higher unless everytime you drive, you have someone riding shotgun(doubt it.) Coilovers will help.

After lowering my car, the rear passenger corner sits higher than the rest.

when you are looking at the car are you wearing both shoes? that could be the problem.

It's been said on many forums that it's because the engine is on the left of the car, so it's a little heavier.

None of the aftermarket suspension companies make the drivers side stiffer to compensate.
