Idk what the previous owners have done before on my car, but if you look at the front when it is on flat ground the driver side sits a little bit lower. It has just over 100k miles on it. Also, it might just be that the rear is soft but just having my two p3s subs in the back ( i estimate 50-70 pounds) makes the rear end sit significantly lower.

Do I need new springs or shocks?

Wouldn't hurt to replace them anyways, especially with 100k+ on the stock set. Might I suggest H&R Super Sports Springs (~2" drop, love mine) and either Tokico or Bilstein shocks/struts.

Just my 2 cents...

Yea, i was thinking about replacing it all anyways i just can't afford to at this point. I'm trying to wait till I absolutely need them. But when i do i will for sure not be putting stock replacement, so thanks for the suggestion.

its normal for the drivers side to sag a little, was the driver overweight by any chance?

I never met the driver as far as I know. I bought the car from the guy's father because he was out of town. If it counts he wasn't overweight haha
