what springs are you using? are they new or used, or are they still stock, the car should only sag if the spring is worn out, or it was put in wrong.

they are the stock springs. It doesn't make sense to me that only the left side spring would wear out. If I remember correctly some one from here said that getting control arms fixed their front left side sag. Ring any bells?

no, but if your talking about rear control arms, that would make no sence, but the front a-arms could have something to do with it, some springs just wear out faster than others, does the left side bounce when u push on it? if so the shock could be warn out.

Well if you think about it...it does...left side is always where the driver sits, thus there tends to be more weight on the left side of the car. I have seen some newer cars with very big people driving them and the left side does seem to sag a bit regardless if the driver is in the car or not.

sry bro if you would have to do something with your subframes to make that side pick back up then i would say the car was in an accident.

well.. I actually kind of do think that that could have been a posibility. The shade of the hood does not match the shade of the fenders exactly... oh well i got a killer deal so it is what it is. I do appreciate all the help though fellas!!

check to see if the coil springs is broken. I have seen them snap off near the bottom! Also the coil-spring insulator might be worn out.
