Change your tires IMMEDIATELY. Use a 215/45/17 on ALL wheels. Using two different size tires on an AWD car will destroy your driveline.

How long has the car been driving around with 2 different sized tires?

My guess is he did that and busted something and decided to get rid of it before it broke. >.> Get new tires NOW.

ok i changed tires today and the driver rear is still little lower and the other side is higher. and only the driver side hit fender well. none of the other three do . what can i do to fix this problem

Wait, Front and back drive rside is off? I think something is iffy. They naturally lean a bit, but you might wanna take it to an alignment shop or something for some one to look it over. It might had some off road adventures.

Sounds like it may be sagging on that corner. How long has the car been on those springs? If they are a no name brand, I would change them out for something that is known to be more reliable. Especially if it's been on garbage suspension for years.

But also, check to make sure nothing is broken. I know a corroded spring isolator (rubber thing at top of spring) can wear down and it would give you the problems you describe.

It is #41137

You should be ok. It's personal preference when it comes to shocks and spring/coilovers.

But I don't like any of the springs that are made for "our" cars, not enough spring rate. But this is my opinion. The springs are just fine, but I personally like a stiff ride so I opted for coilovers seeing how I can choose my spring rates.

First things first, check to see if the part I mentioned is worn and needs to be replaced. If its rotted out, it would account for the missing .5" on that corner.
