dood!!! i have the same freaking problem with my integ... i thought i put my car back together wrong or sumtin... the passenger rear wheel sits higher than the driver side rear wheel by like a cm or maybe a lil more. I just started noticing it. Now that you guys mentioned it i think my stock shocks are probably blown to hell and that mite be what's causing my problem. Haha... i've been driving my car slammed like 3.5 inches (lowest setting on the coilovers) for like 6k miles.

its probably caused by the fact that you usually drive alone in the car
the extra weight actually does make the driver side sag some.
my friends integra did this so we ended up just swapping the springs from one side to the other.
that way the other spring can 'sag' and they would eventually become even
my car did this too but all i had to do was crank the coilover up a little

cars are not evenly balanced in weight, even w/out driver. adjust accordingly.
