Leaning to the left?

my 06 coupe Only has 3,000 miles and leans about .5" lower on the left side before I'm even sitting in the driver's seat. I bought it with 14 miles on it and i've only just started noticing the lean. Everything is stock with the 19" wheels. is this a common thing? I'm considering installing z springs and new wheels, will this change anything or should I try to fix the lean first?

I have an 04 sedan with the sport suspension and just noticed the same thing with my car within the last two months. Haven't figured it out yet but if I hear of anything I'll forward it to you. Changing the springs and wheels will not change it becaue I've gone down that path already.

install the Z springs. the lean is most-likely coming from your springs
unless the top mount is binded or spring seats welded incorrectly.

your new springs might 'fix' it. i don't consider a 0.5" different a 'problem.'
ive seen worse on other cars.

fyi, my car is sitting perfectly flat. L to R.

update: after about 7k miles it seems to be leveling out, at least when I'm not sitting in it! gotta cut back on those nachos... Anyone else have this problem? (not with the nachos)
