One side sits higher?

I noticed one side of my car sits higher.
The passenger side sits half an inch higher than the drivers side.
Any ideas? Tweaked unibody?

Front springs are indexed right and they are Eibach sportlines.

I even tried swaping the rear springs from side to side incase the springs were sagged. (bought them used) Didnt make a difference.

hmm?

Removed the rear isolators and used tubing on the first coil's.
Front insulators were tapped on to make sure they didnt fall or move out of position.
I'm stumped. I never bothered to measure ride height with the stock springs.

I know this might sound obvious but are u sure the springs are seated all the way? sometimes they look like they might be but it might not be sat all the way on one side which would raise it on just that side

if you look on your control arm where the spring sits on it, there is a certain way the spring sets down inside of it...are you sure you got it ligned up right?

Yep.. and you can tell when its on jackstands. the spring covers one drain hole but not the one next to it.
