Default car sits 1/2 inch lower on one side???

I just noticed my car sits about 1/2 inch lower on the divers side than on the passenger side. Its front and rear. Its awd and on stock suspension. Could something be wrong or is this normal?

Thanks. At least now I know something's not wrong. So for the ones who put springs on, did it help at all or is there still a difference?

My LS is the same way. Its kind of annoying, but when I drop it Im going with coilovers like I had on my GS because it allows you to fine tune your drop .

Means you need to hit the gym, lol jk

Was it like this when you got the car? Could be an indication of a spring gone bad ?!?
