Driver side rear lower than passenger?
Somewhat of an odd problem, my rear driver side wheel gap is 1/2-3/4" lower than the passenger side!
I recently upgraded wheels (Volk LE37 19x9.5 et 34 with 275/30 MPSS) and over large dips the driver side has been rubbing. I figured it was most likely due to driver weight (Im ~210lbs) but upon getting out of the car, the driver side is permanently lower. Rear suspension is stock, and I have Swifts on the front.
Could it be the rear springs are pooched and need replacing? (Then I would simply install the Swifts?)
Anything else it could be?

Every lexus or Infiniti I have had is like this . The drivers side wears down due to added weight . There is a technical term for the spring sagging but I don't remember it right now . Its normal in my experience. Coilovers fixed it with the Gs because the heights are all independently adjustable
Has anyone switched the drivers side to the passenger side spring/shock in order to fix this?
I figure I will always have a driver in the car, but not always a passenger, so this could be a quick fix...that or I could put in my rear Swift springs.. but I am worried it might rub anyways.

Maybe the alignment is off. I also noticed the different height after changing to wider wheels. The passenger side rear would rub when I went through bigger puddles. It's all good now that the alignment was adjusted.
