Question My car is lower on one side.

I dropped my gen3 v6 about 2 years ago with sprint springs and tokico struts. I don't know how long its been like this but my driver side front is about an inch lower than my passenger side What can be causing this? Is it because theres more weight on the driver's side cause the spring to sag more?

Cool

Jack that corner of the car up then let it back down. See if it returns to normal.

this seems nonsensical, but try to tighten the top nut on the passenger side just a turn or a turn and a half. i had the same problem and this fixed it. i believe that the tightening doesn't do much, but it forces the piston to rotate inside the shaft and settle a bit better. give it a shot, what have you got to lose right?
