Not sure what to do with this.. Please help

i recently had sportlines put in. today i was looking at my car and my rear drivers side looked lower then usual i went around to my passenger side and it looked higher. so i took at tape measure and sure enough it was a half inch lower on the drivers side. the front is equal on both sides. any suggestions on what this could be?

anything heavy on the pass side? a larger person ride in the back seat? this may cause it to settle faster. give it a week and see what happens

I think this is something that a lot of cobalts do. Its something that I've heard quite a few times. My car did this as well on SSC springs.

invite the fattest girl you know to a bar with you. Get her nice and drunk (you might wanna throw a couple of shots down your throat for this as well). Take her to the back of your car and proceed to have raunchy sex. If that doesn't fix the problem, then find a bigger chick. And if that doesn't work, have a threesome with previous chick and new chick.....
