Exclamation help! My Car is Lopsided

Ive recently noticed that my drivers side seems to be a little lower then my passenger side. Im 6' 1" 170 lbs so it cant be my weight lol....but I do drive a lot...A little bit about my car...19" rims, dropped on H-techs, No camber kits and I havent noticed any abnormal tire wear. My car has been dropped for a good 6 months or so. This is just something I recently noticed and I was wondering why this is so?!?

Oh and another thing I never got an alignment done after my drop...soo maybe that has something to do with it?

Here are some pics (sorry for the crap camera)

Drivers Side:







Passenger Side:







Im not sure the pictures really show it very well...but Im looking for suggestions as to why this is the case with my car? Is it something I should be worried about? I havent noticed a change in the way the car drives or anything?

Thanks in advance!

maybe since you don't ride with passengers, your springs settled more in the drivers side before the passengers.. they'll probably even out over the next few months

sounds like what you need to do is to drive sitting on a passenger side for a while.


Or just get a FAT hooker and take her around the block couple times.

That should do the job.

I blamed mine on being fat so I just bought coilovers to correct it.

It was driving me nuts looking at it.

See if this problem is still there if you park on level ground, leave the car in neutral, make sure the parking brake is off, get out and push the car from the rear for about 15 feet making sure you are pushing only horizontaly.

Springs seem to be lower on the left. My S-Techs did it. I got coilovers to fix it.

You could swap the springs from one side to the other to try to even them out.
