Measuring from both rims to lip of fender on the passenger side is a 1/4 of an inch lower then the same measurements on the drivers side. I know i need new spring isolators but what else might be causing the passengerside to be a 1/4 inch lower?

if the car has been sitting (like mine), just take it out for a 10 minute drive around some small turns and it should sit right. if not.............. find the ostrich

If it's a 1/4" then forget the sucker. That's great if it's on the passenger side. That way when you get in the car your body weight will make it sit even

I agree, that is not enough to worry about. Get some good sub-frames welded in, this will stop it from flexing anymore. Mine leans about 1/2", and I am not worried about it at all. BTW, I installed new springs, shocks and struts and it didnt take the lean away. I want the MM full length subframes, they are pretty cheap.
