Passenger side of my evo is sitting lower than driver side

I've notice for a couple months now that my passenger side on my evo is sitting low. Than last night I decided to see if my eyes is playing tricks on me. I measure it out to be about 8mm lower than my driver side. Does anyone experience the same issue? I checked my tire pressure and it's even on both side. any idea? A while ago I rammed into the bush hard on the right side, hopefully my suspension isn't F'up. I took the car in to get the grass pulled out and didn't notice anything wrong with my suspension. I know nothing is perfect in this world, but should i be concern?

I've noticed same thing from a visual perspective in the drivers seat, almost like I've got a flat tire, but to be honest I've never measured it to see if it's real. I don't see it from outside the car.

I don't think mine is a blown shock, since I've got relatively new Ohlins on.

pass side 8mm lower.
driver sits in the car...wallah...even steven.

Seriously. Your springs might be sagging some. Also consider that the motor sits on the pass. side. Heavier that the trans in the drivers side.

Blown shock won't affect ride height. Your springs hold the weight of the vehicle not your shocks.
