It's either sitting higher on one side or it is not? :D (don't get me?? nvrmind :) )

Anyways, mine does sit higher on the right side because of my left suspension (broken springs, bad struts). Too much hard right corners, not enough lefts.

hahhaha.....then start cornereing left more..Anchovies..

OR else its just that you have been driving it and the weight is settled to the one side..bounce it a bit and see if it settles even..

otherwise check the springs and shocks..

mmmm...move the engine..
I don't think the slight placement of the engine matters nonetheless. The suspension "should" sit balanced. I should shut up now, mine is not balanced :(

I dropped my car about two months ago and it still sits a little uneven too. To balance it out I put about 80 pds of weights (the weight lifting disc kind) under the passenger seat and in the trunk on that side. I of course, remove them when i have a passenger. Ya, i know that sounds stupid but it works!

ok a quick and easy fix would be to jack up one side and twist the spring around in its perch. You could have a worn strut on one side but since you just lowered it I would say mess with your springs a bit. You know the litte indention on the bottom plate?....well scoot the end of the spring around and you can actually make it sit +/- .5 inch higher or lower
