Stock ride height question

Is it normal for the driver's side rear to sit a bit lower than the passenger rear?

Just wondering if I have a blown shock or something. Only have 28k miles.

i would have to say no. check the shocks, springs, and your tires. and the level of the ground. it just may look offset

Tires are all at 32psi. Im on level ground.

What should I do to check the shocks. I looked through the wheel at the shock and didnt see any oil on any of them.

When I got my coilovers I noticed I had to lower the passenger side rear quite a bit more than the driver's side. I forgot how it was when I was stock height though.

mine car has same symptom...i'm guessing its not abnormal to see that, but i've also been wondering since i put on RB springs, and i think the stockers was like that as well. anyway, have you lightened up anything on ur car? i'm guessing this is the source of my problem
