Well all he would have to do is pull off the wheel and look at the bottom of the shock..is it oily? splattered on the fender well behind the shock?

Could be that one or two of the springs aren't sitting flush on the perches. That won't account for any significant difference in height between both sides. The shocks won't really help make it lower unless it's got adjustable perches.
Sometimes it just works out like that. Every car is different too. My springs on a different 6th Gen might yield a totally different drop. For the record, my right rear side is about 1/4"-1/2" higher than my left rear. I'm on Tokico sport springs which are supposedly manufactured by Eibach, so I'm sort of in the same boat as you.

I heard the Tokico springs are known for that and tend to sag.Fish said:

Well my rear sits a lot lower because of my custom trunk and all the weight. Dreman told me once that the right side of the car sits higher than the left side. He said its the same way on his car but his car is so low now it doesnt matter. But it was installed by a professional and he knows what he was doing. Im just unsure about why it sits higher and hopefully can figure it out. If i buy aftermarket shocks that are good ones will it help the way it sits???

I got them at a local store around here since they could get them to me by the next day. I went on Eibach.com and I could only find a number to call them at. Is that what I should do is just call them or somehow find an email?

One thing i'd look into is if the spring is located right. It might not be in the "grove" on the hat or on the bottom of the strut. It will be easy to see on the bottom, just take your wheel off. On top, it will be hard to see.

Well I measured the gaps in the wheel wells. LF-1.5 inch gap, LR-Half inch, RF-2.5 inch, RR-1 inch. The right front is a difference the left front looks great I wish it sat like that all around. Some people said on here it might not be sitting right but Im pretty sure it is. Anyone have a solution on what I can do. I have had my frame pulled back because of hitting a curb in the winter a while back. Went over an island in a parking lot and exploded a tire, bent a rim and bent some stuff under the car. That was before it was lowered or anthing done. It threw the one side of my car off and it sat to close to the wheel well so it would rub when I turned hard. I had the right side pulled back at a body shop and it seemed to be better. Im not sure if that is what it is though. Anymore opinions would help. Thanks
