I Need An Answer@@!!@!!!

Ok so I bought my TII a bit over a year ago and it has gone through some pretty major stuff (ie. mods).
One thing I haven't touched is the suspension.

A few weeks after I bought the car I noticed that the drivers side sat about .5" lower than the pass. side. I even posted on here but no one could give me a conclusive anwer.
Some said the car was wrecked (which it wasn't).
Others said its a normal thing with TIIs.
And then other people said that they replaced their suspension with aftermarket and the drivers side is STILL lower.

So I really need to fix this, but will just dropping some springs/shocks fix it, or do I need to go to a coilover suspension? And if I do go coilover, how is the ride affected? (my friend has an RSX-S and it rides like **** on TEIN FLEX coilovers)
-please someone who has seen this firsthand or knows about it chime in-

It's normal. All of the 4 (running) FC's i've had (2 n/as s4 and s5 and 2 t2's s4 and s5's) have sat lower on the drivers side. Stock suspension or not. My n/a FC had the stock and I swapped it over to tokico blues/intrax springs and it still sat lower on one side. My S5 TII I put Koni Yellows and eibach springs AND Racing beat front and rear swaybars with the adjustable endlinks and it still sets lower on the drivers side. I never measured just how much, but it was visible by looking at the rear of the car straight on.

Most cars Ive seen are that way, I think it's from the extra weight on the driver's side, but I could be wrong..
