Hey Guys,I'm having a strange suspension problem.It is leaning mabey a 1/2" to a 1" lower on the drivers side rear.At the end of the summer a friend and I installed brand new KYB Gr2's and some aerospeed lowering springs.Sometimes I get the feeling when I am making a right turn that I am leaning (sagging) out of the drivers door,But when I turn left I don't really get that,It feels firmer.So we removed both rear struts with springs still on them and put them side to side,they were the same height.Next step I took was bought all new tires.Because when I bought the car it had a diffrent size tire on the front.I put bridgestone FuZIONs on it 205/60/r15.It helped a little, but it's still there.I don't know what else to do?I haven't had a wheel alignment yet,but I don't know if that would help?Please any suggestions would be great great.Thank You...car is 90 pignose sr powerd....

it could also be old/ worn bushings... after i lowered my car and the springs settled, one side was slightly higher also, after i put in all new bushings it raised the hieght a few cm and all sides seem to be almost even now
