Why is my left side higher than right side
 
My EF is sitting lower on my driver side maybe about half a inch. I check my coilovers and they are equal on both sides... Could my shocks be causing it?

Coilovers? So adjust them until all sides sit the same. Maybe this is a trick question?

They are all adjusted to the same height

My EM1 is the same. Lower on the driver side. Had to adjust my coilovers for it to have the same ride height. Didn't have time to figure out what causes it to do that. There was a discussion about this a long time ago.

Okay. maybe you don't get the concept behind the adjustable part of adjustable coilovers. If you need any corner a certain height, you adjust that sleeve's height until you're satisfied. The goal is NOT to get the coilovers sitting at the same height. if that was the case you could use plain old lowering springs.

IM sure I know what I mean I've always used coilovers for all my cars and never had this problem so that's why I was asking

So I don't get what the problem is? Adjust them so everything sits even. Two people have told you the same thing already.

degraded shocks - and/or less spring rigidity. (not flaming)most likely caused be having a 150++ occupant and often no passenger.

going over bumps with unbalanced weight/getting in and out of vehicle - really does a number on suspension components.

Thanks dude I'll check my shocks I think that might have something to do with it... As fare as adjusting the coilovers I wanna go lower that's were my problem is cause I have adjusted them but it makes my ride higher like I said first time I ever have this problem I might just switch to Lowering spring

what's in the car will effect ride height as well. drivers side can be heavier than passenger. should really get the car corner balanced

its NORMAL.

cars sag on the driver side over time.

its normal.

adjust your coilovers to compensate.

its normal.

nothing to do with the shock.
