Left front side lower than right side?
I just noticed that my front driver side is 0.5 inch lower than the right side. Since I have the TTE sport springs the car is lowered about 1 inch from stock.
The left front side is lower so it is very noticeable that the left front tire is closer to the wheel fender, so much that it rubs a bit with the inside wheel fender lining on sharp turns.
The wheels are TR Motorsport 18x8.5, and the front tires are new Continental ExtremeContact DWS 235-45/18 and the rear tires are BF Goodrich super sport A/S 245-40/18.
Has anyone seen this kind issue before? Car drives fine and the suspension seems fine too. Is it possible the left front strut is bad causing the sagging? How do I test it?

I had 245-40/18 in the front but felt the 40 series tires are too bumpy for the roads here in the SF bay area.
Got a flat on the highway and one of the front tires was damaged so I ordered two new Continental DWS 235-45/18 for the front. The Continental tires are smoother and better than the BF tires. After the rear tires wear out I will get Continental DWS 255-40/18 tires.
