I was looking at my car today, which is lowered using sportline(rear with isorater and front without isorater), and I've just somehow thoght to stick how many finger would fit between gap between tires and wheelwell. Now I can stick 2 fingers in snagly all corners, except rear passenger side. Which I can fit may be 2 and 1/2 of my fingers in. Which suggest me that that corner is slightly higherr then others. Is that normal? or my spring sugging???

It's a possibly that your stangs out of alignment and
you just need an alignment to correct it! If I were in your
shoes I would have your car looked at.

The production tolerances for the body can vary by as much as 1/4-1/2 of an inch on our cars. Sometimes you have to deal with it. As long as the alignment is good, the extra 1/2 finger thing could just be a cosmetic.

Check how the rear coils are sitting in their spring perches. If the coils aren't positioned the same that can cause one side to sit different than the other.

sportlines are sometimes known for mismatching in drops, it's just how it settles.
