Leaning Prob
Ok long story short, Bought my TA and after I drove it a few days, I noticed it was leaning a little. Well I put lowering springs on it and now its a little worse, Finger gap between tire and fender on pass side is 2 fingers, On the driver side its 4. A friend told me thats how the cars lean. That is was fine. Another told me that I had a "compressed Spring" (if thats even possible), An older guy told me it was the shocks. Thats what I was thinking. SO I ordered 2 for the back. When I go over a decent sized bump now that its lowered it sounds like the pass side is bottoming out. I havent gotten the shocks in yet but what do yall think?
Does that sound like a shock to yall?

What shocks do you currently have on the car?
Shocks won't affect ride height (unless it is seized up, but that would be pretty obvious if that were the case). If you still have stock shocks on the car, and you're now lowered (what springs?) it wouldn't surprise me if you're bottoming out.
These cars do tend to have a bit of a lean to them to the passenger side. Sit in it at it levels out a bit.

I was thinking maybe its blowed out. Im Not sure what brand but im sure they are factory due to 60000 original miles. and they are DNA Launch Springs

My car is doing the exact same thing im lowered on BMR springs and the passenger side sits way lower than the drives side. Heres the crazy part...I have the rupper isolator in the passenger side and just heater hose on the drives side and the passenger still sits lower and rubs on the tire. I cant wrap my head around that

I wish I could figure out what the problem is. I thought it might be because im still on stock shocks but i guess thats not it. I also swapped sides with the rear springs and that didnt make a difference either.
