Default Drivers side sits lower than passenger...WHY?

Hey I have a 95 hatch with tokico whites in front and stock shocks back with eibach lowering springs. Why does the drivers side always sit like .5-1inch lower that the passenger? have you ever had that? something going out?

How long has the suspension been on there? Typically there is more of a load on the driver side of your car. Could be worn suspension or worn bushings or both.
