Bent rear springs
So I was fitting my new wheels and realized one side of my car was significantly lower than the other. So I popped the wheels on and checked my springs and the coilovers. I noticed my spring on the drivers side is extremely bent. So I am assuming I will need 2 new rear springs? If I anyone can chime in to why that happened and if getting 2 new springs is the right idea. Thanks

Could be that the previous owner didn't have a good spring compressor and only compressed one side of that spring when they installed it. Or maybe somebody drifted into a curb and bent quite a few things. Anything is possible, no telling how the car was driven before you picked it up. I'd definitely replace the pair though.

What brand springs ? And BTW, no the bend will not effect anything , probably a cheap spring , and the spring flexes like that thru the suspension travel
