Default help on drop question????

whats up guys i need your help on something ....i lowered my car twice in the past year...at first i had H&R sport springs with 1.75 drop in the front and 1.5 in the back and i noticed that after a while my left rear side sat just a little lower than my right rear side.....last month i swapped in skunk 2 race springs with a 2.5 in front and 2 inch drop in the back and the left rear side went lower and so did the right rear side...but the left rear side still sits a bit little lower....can anyone figure what the problem here is.

left side meaning driver side? well if it is, that how usually it goes, there is more weight on the driver side, weight of the motor and driver, so its just going sit just a tad bit lower, get some coilovers, how much lower is it?

its just a tinny bit lower, even when i'm not in the car you can see that the left rear side is lower....you cant really notice it unless i point it out or if you examine both the sides...anyone else...thanx

my 93 DX is/was the same. When stock after a while, the left side (drivers) sat lower than passenger. I replaced spring/struts and it fixed it. I had AGX struts, Megan springs and nameless coilovers at one point. eventually all sat a bit lower, i fixed it by switching left-to-right springs in my experience, all the springs have sagged a bit over a period of time. I have no passener seat and guted interior, so mine might have appeared quicker.
just my moneys worth
