Default suspension help

so i just bought my 99 ex about a month ago and when its parked on a level surface you can see that the suspension is uneven....it was lowered when i bought it....it looks like everything is the same except the passenger rear looks to be at stock height

my friend helped me jack the car up and we took all the tires off to look at the suspension and its not adjustable but there are some stopper things in my coils, what do i do to fix it?

Does the strut on that corner move freely.If it has leaked alot and it has some rust in it, it may be jammed. Although this is really unusual.

I would REALLY suggest getting a different set of springs that you KNOW are matching...some if the crap I have seen people do is pretty scary. If you have the money, get some spings and struts all the way around. (and an alignment) You'll be glad you did. You can get a setup for less than 400-500 bucks most the time.
