Driver side sits lower than passenger????

There are a couple.

Scenario A): you hit something with your car
Scenario B): you lowered a 2g

If not A, then B.

Often the case for many 2g owners, after dropping their car they notice that the car has a slight lean to the driver's side and the car actually sits lower on that side, at least in the front. There has been speculation that the problem is because of the geometry changes regarding the mounting of the upper a-arms. Having upgraded my a-arms to the SPC units I've since solved my own "car sits lower on one side" problem. So, in my opinion the OEM a-arm itself is to blame for this behavior, but not all cars exhibit this issue. Basically, we've found nothing conclusive.
The symptom is referred to as "listing" and many 2gs suffer from it once they are lowered.
 
Possibly the drivers weight, Plus the Engine and ABS sit more towards the driverside side. Maybe Mitsu had different spring rates on the stock spings. I had Eiback sportline 1.6" drop and it never leaned at all.

Do you have a website for the spc A-arms i would like to check into them but my driver side rear sits lower than the passenger side and i have nothing in my trunk what soever i was gunna just buy some new springs,but i dont want to do that if it could be that the struts were mounted improperly.
