When i lowered my car, my rear passenger side was higher than the driver side. i couldn't figure out what the hell it was so i thought i put the spring on wrong but it ended up just being that the tire was low on air

Ok so recently I picked up my second dsm for 1000 bucks, it wasn't as beautiful as I was lead to believe but none the less it was better then the first one I bought. Well I swapped the motor from the one I had(which is now a rolling chassis for sale for 500 bucks) to the one I just bought and had some problems but everything is fixed now. So we drove it to my house and on the drive the car kept rubbing on the back left side. The car is lowered on h&r springs and koni shocks. And the tires in the back are wider then the tires on the front (wasn't my idea, I bought the car like that) So I'm not sure what the cause for the rubbing is, could it be a blown shock, do I need to get new springs and shocks? Any advice would be super helpful. |

Oh and its not just a rubbing issue, when you look at the car from the back you can see that its much lower on the left (driver) side then it is oin the right side. Hopefully its a simple fix, cause I would really hate to have to spend more money then I ned too. |

Well even if the shock is bad the spring should still hold up the car so I would guess the either the spring itself is bad or the spring perch on the shock is broken. |

Well it seemed fine when I removed the wheel, do you think if I put stock shock and springs in the back it would be a bad idea. I really don't like how low it is, and I have the stock setup still, just wanna know if it would be a bad thing or not. |

As long as the stock stuff is still in good condition I don't think it would hurt anything. If you leave it lowered in the front and put the stock in the rear it might look like a stink bug but the only way to see how much higher it sits would be to do it and see how it looks. |

Maybe the right side has stock suspension, well before I start pulling everything apart, I wanna double check everything. |

Well I thought it was the same thing cause the tire was flat, but after filling the tire with air, it was the same situation, and the wheel gap is actually different, its like 1.5" on the right side and less then .5" on the left, so I have no idea what it could be. |

It's called a sway bar and please post pictures of your old, bent sway bar because I do not believe you. |
