lols everyone else pretty much got it, blown shocks/struts depending on how it was blown can definately cause your ride height to change on one side. The blown shock/struts will no longer compress or rebound so that may be causing the gangster lean ya have. I don't know if the eibachs can be attributed to the extreme difference but a combination of both could account for the big lean.

does nobody use the search function? those eibach prokit are notorious for an uneven drop.check the posts out, tons of complaints.
REMEMBER! I had the sag before the spring change, and NO I don't use the search function!

Thanks, I don't think that the new springs are the reason either. I will be chasing down the shock/ strut issue next day off I have.

Ok, changed rear shocks and only changed a 1/2" of difference on the rear. So, don't know about you all but new UPR tubular rear control arms are going on next week and hopefully that helps.

Are you the only owner of the car? Do you know the full history of it? Any chance it might have been in an accident?

so your only 1/2 an inch off in the rear? just take the isolator off the other rear and you should be sitting about even in the rear on both sides.

No, I'm the 3rd owner of the car. The guy who had it last ran into a vehicle at a stop light, carfax report said it was only minor damage to the front end, bumper headlight area, front clip.
