Thanks, but then why is my right side sitting higher then my left. Like my left is literally tucked and my right has got about two fingers. Bad shocks?

drivers sides tend to set lower with springs....but not a two finger difference...im on springs and have about a 1/4" difference from side to side. new springs and shocks where installed at the same time...was your car in an accident? frame damage?

Accident, yes. But no frame damage. So to be exact...there's a 1 finger difference on the front right and a 2 finger difference on the back right. Both on the left are level at 0. The left is sitn pretty, i dont know about the right. I'm thinking i should probably be getting new shocks...?

how off is your camber/toe from side to side? shocks dont help the cars height any, they are their to dampen the bounce...

on a side note...is anyone look for wheels? im thinking of selling my work t1s with toyo tires....tires/wheels have less than 500 miles...basically brand new...only reason i would like to sell them is because i need money to pay school tuition ...thinking $2700

I know, that much. But if a shock is bad you would see a difference in how it sits.

Post pics of rims.

About the ride height issue, for performance it is actually preferred to have it lower on the driver side to compensate for your weight. When I had a professional corner balance on my coilovers, the passenger side (especially in the rear) was noticeably higher up.

Just to clarify, your shocks will have absolutely nothing to do with ride height. They would have to be entirely blown out or not even there to make a significant difference in ride height. And in that case you would be posting about your car bouncing all over the road rather than a slight height difference

yes shocks do nothing for ride height, its more of a comfort thing....as far as the corner balance thing, auto manufacturers corner balance the frame. so the driver side does tend to set lower because it contains more equipment (ex. steering wheel column...). the only way to get the car to see 100% even is coilovers and conner balancing. but you 2" difference is too much, something is wrong
