Default How does your car sit?

My car sits a bit lower on the passengers side than the drivers side. I measured the other day and it's about 1/2" - 3/4" difference. You can't really notice it by eye.

If you take two fingers and put them between the tire and the front wheel well lip they will fit on the drivers side, but if you do the same on the passenger's side they do not fit.

Another guy I know has the same thing on his car. Is the passenger side slightly lower on these cars? Does anyone else have this? What would be the reason?

mine is the same but only in the rear, was lower on passenger side, i now have rear coilovers with the torsion bars dissconected, and have the shocks set up the exact same on both sides and the car is still a little lower on the passenger side.

It's probably that way to account for the weight of the driver.

My car actually has a 'rake' to it like the back end is jacked up. I must have one of the few remaining cars with the stock US rear ride height, since every other car I've seen sits fairly level.
