Default Car is un-even...why?

When I am outside of the car, it looks un-even. Measured both sides and sure enough, the driver side is lower than the pass. side. Is it cuz I drive solo a lot, are shocks bad, whats up. I searched under "car uneven" and it explained a few things. Does anyone know how to fix this, or does everyone just have opinions? Let me know either way...thanks

-Mike

Happens on all of them. Its how the engine sits in the car as well as more wear on the drivers side suspension due to the constant weight of always having a driver.

Only way to fix it is coilovers. It's not hurting anything and 99% of people will never notice.

my car was un even when i had some lowering springs on it. i swaped the springs back and forth but still same problem.. coilovers was the only thing that solved my problem. i imagine i drive solo alot thats why its uneven.

same problem here. i had a shop put it up on a hoist and measure it, the front was off by less than a quart of an inch. could be worn out bushings since my shocks are fairly new.
