Default blown shock?

so today I noticed that my driver rear tire seemed more tucked than the passenger rear and my stupid logic makes me think it's a blown shock. I'm lowered on GC coilovers and tokico illuminas, could it be a blown shock?

Or that your GC's are too low on that side?

Or that you did the wrong spring rates for that corner?

etc

well it cant be that one side was adjusted lower than the other because I made sure that they were at the same height when I put them on. I've been driving it lowered since the beginning of february and they were the same height up until a few days ago.

Make sure the car is on level ground, my '96 coupe looks like one side is higher/lower than the other sometimes just because of the way it is sitting in the drive way. (Stones, not perfectly level) so it causes it to look different than if it were sitting on the road. And i'm not talking about sitting on a big hill or anything, just the littlest incline can make a difference.

May be an easy answer to ur problem

Shocks have nothing to do with ride height.
