Default uneven ride hieght

Does anyone here have uneven ride hieght? I noticed that the front passenger side has about 1/4 inch over my driver side. I didnt notice any difference in the back until today. Now my entire right side is higher up than my left . I guess this could be the reason behind why my car pulls to the left.
Are the springs the only thing that effects the height. I was really trying to avoid dropping my car b/c the roads are terrible around here but if that will level off my car i'll jus get a set of eibachs. What do u guys think?

Did you check your tires? My dads car felt like that and I thought it might have been the air suspension but it was just low on air on the left back side.

yeah, i check. The pressure is consistant on both sides. I wish the solution was that easy but w/ my luck it'll be a 500 dollar problem

I had an uneven ride height because the sway bars were reinstalled incorrectly when my springs were put on..

I assume you're measuring the car when it's sitting on a level surface - maybe a previous owner was a *large* person since it's lower on the driver side - also the manual shows the measurements being taken at the lower a-arm pivots, the car could have an uneven panel edge if it's had body work done, just thinkin' out loud -
