one side lower than other?

My buddy had a similar issue when he dropped his coupe. I told him it was a bolt somewhere, he didn't believe me, pursued all sorts of other fixes like new a arms, etc... and it turns out something wasn't bolted in correctly.
The first thing you should have learned when you learned to work on cars is if it didn't go back together right, take it apart and put it back together again because you messed up somewhere.

LMFAO at you giving advice when you couldn't figure out what was really wrong with your own car without switching suspensions!

dude i ripped out my entire suspension and put it back.
Forget all that.
I have 0 parts from stock suspension, Im on coilovers. No stock shocks, springs, no spring mount nothing. And car still sits the same.
So you giving its a bolt somewhere is as useful as snake oil.

Unfortunatly a lot of cars are like that. I know that mine would sit higher on one side if it wasnt on completely level ground. It's not a loose bolt in the rear suspension, none of the bolts will affect the ride height by being loose. If it looks good front/rear on the side thats lower I would cut the spring perch on the higher side to match. I would also double check (again) that it's all seated properly before cutting it.
Thats the main reason I went with coilovers, so I can adjust each corner to match.

If your car wasn't like that before you lowered you it, then you installed something wrong. If you went back to reinstall everything and it still ended up like that, you really need some help with it because you're still installing something incorrectly.

I doubt it would change anything, but maybe try swapping springs from side to side. If it carries over to the other side then you know it's the spring, if not then it's either the spring perch or just the car itself.
When I put my coil-overs on I measured the OEM strut assembly then set my new ones up to match (same measurment on both sides) My front Passenger side sits about 1/4" - 3/8th" lower...well until I corrected it .

The "bolt" is one of the many bolts down there. For me to point out which one exactly, I would need to be the one wrenching on your car. These cars were engineered, not just thrown together. Your car has no reason to sit with one side higher than the other unless something is wrong with it.
If your car wasn't like that before you lowered you it, then you installed something wrong. If you went back to reinstall everything and it still ended up like that, you really need some help with it because you're still installing something incorrectly.

1 Bolt that holds the bucket for the spring.
1 bolt that holds the strut from bottom
3 nuts on top holds the strut in place...
Im finding that bolt and putting snake oil on it then.
