after I got my car aligned for maintanence perposes
looking at it from a distance I noticed my cars driver side was lower than
the left.
at first I thought it was just the front bumber but when I messured each corner length from center of the hub to the fender lip
front Lt. is 1/2 in. lower and the rear Lt is 1 in. lower than the Rt. side

Is it just my left side springs sagging more or is there anyother things I need to look at ?
any suggestion is welcomed
thx.

I notice that on mine too, basically you sit on that side of the car so theres is always more weight on it. I guess its a known fact that you take more right turns than lefts. So basically your car tends to sag due to more cornering done to that side.
 
Well with any spring company they try to make the springs with all the same characteristics...alot of times its just the spring...sometimes the spring rates difer even though they are the same spring...
 
Mine sags to the driver side as well, but I believe it is do to the fact that my left side struts are totally shot. I can press them in and they wont pop out.;)
 
Mine also sags on the left side than right. At first, i thougt something was wrong w/ the suspension but i heard from alot of people saying something like, due to the more weight on the left side of the car than right. That is why left side sits little lower than right side. I may be wrong but that's what i heard so let me know if this is wrong.
 
It's right. There is more weight on the drivers side, the engine is on the left. Aftermarket springs tend to sag slightly within the first 100 miles of driving, maybe the left springs are fully bedded in, and the right springs aren't. Try swapping springs/struts from left to right and see if that helps.
 
dude, move your NAWZ bottles so they are on the passenger side. NAWZ is heavy, why do you think the needle on the gauge reads 800+ psi sometimes!?
 
It happened to me before. And it was because a little piece of my shock (where the spring is sitting on) was broken. After I replace it with new shock everything is fine.
