Unhappy Car sags in the Rear! Help!!

My car sags on the rear passenger side. Its been like that since I bought the car. Never paid any attention cause my handling was never affected by it.I just bought some TTIIs 18x9's,and I'm worried that, one rim in the back will rub.Just wondering if the springs in the rear need to be replaced or the LCAs. Also, I replaced the shocks in the rear to see if that would help, but it didn't. Gonna run 275/35/18 Dunlops! Any help will be appreciated!!

This is a common thing, mine did it too. It was built that way (I've had mine since new). It's not the shocks or springs. I think it might be caused by the swaybar or endlink mounting points being a little off. On mine, I took off the original swaybar and found it was slightly twisted, maybe from 18K miles of uneven loading. I got a new swaybar and new endlinks, and put about a 1/2" spacer in the pass. side link. This evened it out.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else that's replaced their rear swaybar has checked to see if the old one is twisted. You can just lay it on a flat surface and see if both ends touch the surface at the same time.
