2006 G35x on MR Coilovers (Driver Rear sags more than Pass. Rear) HELP!

Okay guys so I have a 2006 g35x with 85k miles on it. The coilovers have roughly 25,000 miles on them. I drive daily about 50 miles. So my rear driver side is lower than my rear passenger side.. roughly 1/2 inch and it rubs the frame of the car when im driving around.. annoying as f***

At first I thought my driver rear coilover was blown so a buddy mechanic replaced the rear two coilovers with the factory shocks/struts but left the front two coilovers on.

This did not solve the problem, it still sags. Any suggestions on what it could be? Just replaced the rear camber arms as well as the toe arms. Any help would be appreciated!

I would take it to a suspension/alignment specific shop and see if there are any bent components, worn bushings, etc.

Thanks for your reply man.. Yeah i ended up taking it to a alignment shop and they told me that I either need to get thinner tires, (currently running 245/40 all around rims 19x8.5 f 19x9.5 r) or adjust the coil overs to a higher setting.

Could these issues be the reason the driver rear is lower than passenger rear?

Your tire height shouldn't account for it having an uneven drop...

It's possible that you need to adjust it slightly between sides though.

Is there a way to adjust only the driver rear and not configure the right rear? or do they higher and lower simultaneously?

I just had the car raised on all 4 corners and the left rear is still sagging. could it be my bushings? what other suspension components could be the cause?
