I noticed when looking at my car that the drivers side is 1/2-3/4' lower than the passenger side. After measuring, the drivers side front wheel well at dead center is 27 5/8' from the ground and the passenger side is 28 1/4 also at dead center.
I know that some manufacturers deliberately do this, but I wasn't sure if Infiniti did also. Is this within tolerance limits for our car (2004 sedan) or are my springs fatigued?
Please don't tell me I'm fat

You should post pics of your car, and you standing next to it for height reference

On a serious note, when I put my Eibachs on my coupe I thought that something was wrong because I was about the same variance on either side. Then I realized that the ground that I was on was off about an eighth inch. The slab on the driver side was higher which was compressing the suspension and the passenger slab wasnt so the suspension wasnt being compressed. When I got it on level ground the measurements were the same all around.
Hope that helps.

Chica, my car sits the same as yours. It did stock, with H Techs, and now with S Techs. I'm planning to get coils in the next couple of months and I'm going to even her out all around.

The car was sitting on a flat surface and the air pressure is 33-34psi all around. The tires are 235/55/17's on the front, thus the slight height difference from the "slammed" cars and purely stock cars.
So... does anyone actually know
anything or is everyone here going to just jibber-jabber
all day?
That1guy--- I suppose you'd like that to be me wearing a thong bikini
next to my car!

So this is normal then, or is it a symptom of something else (e.g., spring fatigue on one side b/c that the only side used)?Chica, my car sits the same as yours.

How flat was the ground?
Some shops will set the alignment slightly off to compensate for the "crown" of the road so that you'll track straight on roads lightly slanted to let the rain run off to one side.
