The springs are the same side to side. When you put more stress on one spring for any length of time, it will react and sit differently than a spring with a different "life" -

Left and right front springs may have the car lower or higher, and then that will make the wheel move out or in, accordingly.

The new GT-R has a slightly stiffer spring for the driver's front corner spring to balance the handling.

Go measure a group of pre-993 911's and you'll see this is very common with their hind quarters.

Normally I would agree except the concept of non-symmetric body panels is more common with hand bult cars.

This doesn't happen with Honda's.

^^^ I noticed this with a 930 turbo with wider rear wheels, someone said it was to take weight of the nearside as the driver would add weight when they sat in, so its to even up the left/right side weights slightly.
