Default Noob blown shock question...

I have a 1996 EK H/B with H&R Springs with Tokico blues front and rear. The car was wrecked before I bought it but everything was repaired at a reputable body shop. The question for you guys is this...would a blown shock cause the front drivers side of the car to sit 3/4-1" lower over the tire than on the passenger side ? I am 5'9" and 160lbs...I'm not doing it I'm sure. I'm actually getting new shocks anyway to possibly this fix the problem. I called H&R about maybe the springs sagging and naturally they said "oh hell no, our springs don't sag...". Any ideas or suggestions you guys have would be apreciated.

Chris

Driver's side is always lower, though usually not a whole inch. Probably have to get a set of coil-overs to fix that, if it bothers you that much.

It really bothers the hell out of me...I dunno why. The coilovers are in the works. I haven't decided yet which ones I want. I didn't ever notice that on Honda's that's *** though...who wants a leaning car...? I actually thought it was a bit severe of a lean...which lead me to the blown shock theory. Thanks guys...

Yeah, I didnt notice until last week when I put my coilovers on, but with the perches set the exact same, the car leans. Not exactly sure how much, maybe 1/2" on my car? But it has over 200K so...
