Default I need help, uneven suspesion!!!

OK, so i just purchased an SC300 and i noticed this evening that the drivers side sits much lower than the passenger side. on the passenger side i can fit about two and a half fingers in between the wheel and fender, but the drivers side hardly has room for one finger. im not sure what the problem is or if the previous owner modified the suspension or not but all i know is that i want my car to sit level and i dont really have much money, since i spent it all on the car, so what should i do guys? thanks in advance

well lookin around/searching our cars sit lower on the passenger side naturally. as to why, i dont know but thats just how they sit.

got any pics?

ive got aftermarket mkiv shock/spring combo and driver side is 1 finger and pass. 2finger gap. so it sounds like ur car does have aftermarket suspension or if it doesnt, bad shocks.

either way if you really want the car 100% even on both sides, time for coilovers.

if the previous owner was almost always the only one in the car the suspension will naturally be sagging towards the drivers side.. getting new shocks will probably fix it

ya so ive talked to the previous owner and a few other people about it and i guess my front strut is pretty much blown so all the left side weight is on the rear left strut/spring and lowering that side alot more than it should be. i guess i'll just get supra front struts soon

well i took my car into the shop the other day and got it back with alot more problems than it started with but they did manage to fix my suspension problem for free, the previous owner said that maybe it happened when he jacked the car up and something got caught and kept it sitting low on that side, but thats all fixed now thankfully
