Default the passenger side is higher than the driver side?

Hello you all,
I recently bought a sc300, and the driver side sits lower than the passenger side.

the car is on stock suspension with 132k miles.
the driver side front and rears have about 2-3gaps, while the passenger side front and rears have 4-3.5 finger gaps.

what could be the problem? old suspension of the driver side?
will changing the shocks and springs fix this problem?
please advise
thanks
JP

this is a problem with some sc's and supras. some have had to just replace the sway bar bushings and endlinks others have had to go with new lower control arms with new shocks and springs, while the lucky have only had to reset the preload on the lower control arms. Do some investigation and see if anything looks out of place from side to side along with seeing what parts are worn out. gl and do some searching with keywords like "control arms" and "sagging"
