Its a common problem that a PHR cant fix. Some have used spacers under the springs to correct this problem. Other than that, your only option is coil overs.

If I remember correctly (been awhile since I looked) the tops of the rear spring perches are contoured to fit the spring a certain way. You have to "clock" the spring (spin it) in the perch so that the top ends of the coil sit in the pocket a certain way. Otherwise you'll get one side that sits higher.
Or maybe I'm smoking crack lol....
Good luck.

Yes, spring orientation is important. However, my car was off like that from the factory--passenger side one inch lower than drivers side. I cut the stock springs to even everthing out (didn't want stiffer springs).
