Default help please!! Car is leaning to the passenger side

My car is sitting lower on the passenger side than the driver side by almost 2 inches. I replaced the shock and spring and still no change.

Any ideas what it could be?

2 inches? that is a BIGGGG difference. these cars do tend to sit lower on the passenger side but not 2 inches. mine's like a 3/4 of an inch. it was like that stock and now on new springs/shocks.

After installing some parts I noticed I was leaning heavy to the passenger side about the same amount. I had to fiddle with the PHB and got most of the difference cleared. I have it setup so the car evens out with me in it. I don't measure in inches, I use fingers, I can get 2.5 fingers on the driver side and 2 fingers on the passenger side.

HTH

is the spring sitting in the perch the right way or how about what exactly did you do (change) that makes the car sit higher now
