I don't think you have to worry about the spring but the stock shocks are pretty bad. I had differences between left and right wheels all the times before I changed my shocks to Tokico D-spec. Now everything is equal on both side. I'm using the eibach pro-kit for springs.
Mind you also my differences in height were not noticable on a driveway, I had to measured to see the differences maybe 1/8 of an inch.

Man, did I told you before I love your car??

If I remember correctly, it has a cut out on the purch that the point goes in.I'll swap them to see if that makes a difference

Make sure the springs are seated the same way on both sides.

I did measure, it was 1/4". my tire pressure was way low, but low all around. So that wasn't the problem. this is just the first time I noticed it for some reason and it looked bad. ****, with me in it it's worse. lol.

And thanks man, it's always good to hear people like your car. And yours looks great also. I just need to get the 20's on there. Someday. lol

How long ago did you put them on? It takes time for them to settle. I would advise anyone to never lower their car it's never the same again.
1) It takes time for them to settle.
Yes it does but they all sag the same.

2) I would advise anyone to never lower their car it's never the same again.
As far as the fact that its not the same as it was, its not. The ride is a bit stiffer. This helps the car so it dosnt roll as much in the turns. It also lowers the center of the gravityfor the cars which helps in the turns. The main reason most of us lower the car is for the looks. If you save your original spring it will be exactly the same as it was.
Remember also that u must use Caster & Camber (CC) plates & have it realinged if you gow lower than a 1.5" drop.
Your car is beautiful! It looks great lowerd. Please dont put 20"ers on it!!!!

If your suspension was stock I would say that it's normal. I think the RR spring is a little stiffer to helpcounter torque from the engine. Under throttle your car should level out right to left. Mine also leans on the drivers side (stock suspension). I've seen others on the lot the same way.

Frost....I believe you have a 04...the 05 does not use or really need CC plates..A simple set of camber bolts is all thats needed.. My car looks like a 4 x 4..Springs are in the mail...

Just keep it floored.

Still using OEM shocks?. It may have bottomed. That's what happened to my car. The best is to change your struts and shocks like tokiko or even KYB if lowering your car. OEM won't last. Good luck!
