Default Ride height?

Have a 94 coupe, 36k. The other day I noticed the car didn't look level. I measured the distance from the ground to the top edge of the wheel wells, all were right at 28" except the left front which sets about 3/4" lower. I have checked this a couple of times after driving the car, doesn't vary. Suspension and shocks are original. Any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks

Keith

It is pretty normal for the car to be not completely level... There are many hypothesies for this....

Unless you have coilovers you're pretty much "stuck" unless you try shiming the springs which s not an easy task...

Default my 2 cents

I noticed that my front(both) were 1/2 and 3/4 inch lower than the rear so i got grade 8 longer bolts and by adjusting the rear to make the car level it changed the front heights also so i got all wheels about the same height or damn near close

Good point Eric...

That would wor great as well... I was impling that adjusting the front spring is a royal pain, it would be easier to adjust the rears which would effect the front...
