Uneven Drop

I've got some Tein S. Tech springs with dropzone shocks on my hatch. The drivers side sits about a half and inch lower than the passenger side. Both front and rear. The problem isn't the springs because I switched them around with the same result. What can I do to fix this without cutting the springs or buying new adjustables?
Thanks

what do you mean switched them around you may want to see if 1-the springs are the right ones for the position they are in i.e. front is stiffer than the rear as it holds more weight....
2-they are sitting properly in the perches
3-there is no snag or anything like that.....

I know that they are sitting on the perches correctly and I have the fronts on the front and rears on the rear. I just switched which sides they were on. I think my problem is the car suspension geometry. Like something may be bent. The stock springs were the same way - the driver's side sat lower.

question you might need to find out is if it was in an accident before. if so, the frame might not be straight.

you could get a body shop to measure it to make sure stuff is strait

same issues a lot with my friends.. i guess the theory goes that the driver side always have the stress ones since if you are into driving alone.

same here... driver side is lower... maybe because in japan they sit on the right side hence, it would even out... haha...

lmao-mine is fine, barely a finger between the tire and fender on each side.
