Rear heavier on one side?

So is the sedan rear heavier on one side then the other? No pics right now, but when on a driveway the driver side rear sags lower then the right side (not an uneven driveway, when I turn the car around the drivers side rear is still sagging lower).. I have swapped out both the springs and the strut and it does the same thing.. Not sure whats going on here.. I found this in the coupe section but it doesn't really offer any help: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...han-other.html Btw I am running coupe oem shocks/struts and Eibach pro-kit for the coupe as well.

Thoughts?

Park it on level ground and check.

A driveway can be misleading because of the way the driveway can slope.

My car sits the same way, I've even cut only the passenger rear upper spring mount with no change. I do notice the passenger side get lower with a full tank. I have linear Hotchkiss springs.

Certain cars are built with about .5 in of difference passenger to driver.

The E46 M3 even has this problem, but opposite of us. (Left side is higher)

I just set my coilovers to offset it. Its only about a .25in of difference but its enough to not fit a finger under my fender on my driver's side and 1 finger on the passenger's.

I have the opposite problem. My passenger side rear is 3/8 lower than the drivers. With me in I assume the cross weight would balance it a little more. Probably just the fenders not being exactly the same more than anything else.
