My drivers side coilover is binding, and i cant seem to get rid of it. i have done research on this subject and found people with the same problem. Ive tried everything people have recommended, but i still can not figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!

What is binding? The spring? The upper joint? What brand of coilover are you using, and at what ride height?

Yank the coilover and inspect. If there is a mechanical failure then you'll need to replace the part.
