Default Driver's Side Left Rear Sag???

My driver's side rear is sitting almost half inch lower that the right. Never noticed it before. I did put on the GT2 sway bar, but that's not rocket science.

What is the most common cause of one corner to sag?

I was very careful to make sure both drop links on the sway bar were not loaded. I installed the drop links with the car under load. Can the sway bar even lower one side of the car?

Sometimes it takes a few days to settle if you've had it jacked up.
Might want to try it with the stock drop links and see if that corrects?

I Jacked up one side at a time and put railroad tie blocks under each wheel. I used jack stands as a safety measure, but left them 1/2" short so that the full weight of the car was on the wheels/blocks.

Yes, stock coil springs.
I installed the sway bar first, then the drop links. I adjusted both links so that they were neutral (no tension up or down, then tightened the lock nuts.
