Wats happening
well when i left the store i noticed my car was not sitting correctly and i thought it was just the angle of the how i parked but then i noticed it again when i parked in a flat spot of the parking lot and this is how its sitting, seems like the front passenger side of the car is lower then the rest. i havent measured it and all the tires are correctly filled. anyone know whats going on? Stock ws6 suspension with a strut tower brace btw.

Shocks dont effect the ride height.

Springs, like all other manufactured products, are subject to variations in the manufacturing process. It could be that maybe the one spring had a defect which lead to it's failure. Not saying that was the cause, just putting it out there as a possibility.

According to Sam (Strano) the passenger side will always be lower by about 1/2 to 3/4 inch being normal. I think he said the engine is not centered creating more weight on passenger side than drivers.
Mine (1998 Z28) with Koni's (four corners) with stock springs on front and Sam's lowering springs on rear is extactly 5/8 inch lower on passenger side (front and rear).
Park your car in the garage where floor is level and measure. I wouldn't always trust parking lots to be level as the concrete slabs are graded for water run-off + they can shift and expand in the heat.

Yeah, but his car looks way more uneven than a 1/2" in those pics. I'd say at least an inch or so.
