That is normal sometimes, depending on the brand of springs you have. What kind do you have and how low is it?...this has happened numerous times that ive been aware of.

That seems a little strange. How long ago were these put on, any idea? Its not unusual that its an inch difference from the front driver's side, to the back driver's side, its the fact that both fronts arent the same height.

Yea, you've got coilovers. Did you get an adjustment tool when you got the car? You dont necisarily need one, but its really nice to have. You can probably buy a set on ebay or from skunk2 or omnipower, some company that makes coilovers.

the shock doesn't matter, just lift the car and adjust the coilovers untill there even.
