mine did the same thing for awhile, but is back to normal. I didn't do anything to it, so i'm not sure what caused it, but the back right definitely looked lower by 1/2 inch. The only other reason i could think of is a blown shock, but mine is still stiff in that corner. Once you blow a shock, it usually settles half an inch from the loss of gas pressure, but you would have an oil leak out of that shock as well. Maybe try jacking that corner up and turning the spring a little and let it settle down again, maybe it shifted in a weird way when it settled in? Good luck, let me know if you find out anything.

Wouldn't be the shocks, the car only rests on the springs.

actually, I think Eibach spring's quality is not as good as it used to be (compare to back then when they were all made in Germany). But that's my opinion.
