Car sits uneven?
I have lowering springs and its the same with me. I probably just park on uneven surfaces because depending on where I park, the drivers side usually has more fender gap but sometimes the passenger side has fender gap. Its never even 
honestly if mine was the rear it wouldnt bother me nearly as much. but its the front. so on my passenger side i have more of a gap in the front than the back.. i have all week off work so i will mess with it and see if i can come up with a fix.
my experience with coilovers is they ride like **** on the streets. ( i live outside detroit and roads here are always bad due to the freeze and thaw cycles all winter long)
i also talked with an engineer that builds race cars, and his thoughts were for a street car you will gain more handing from a set of sway bars than you will with a set of fully adjustable coilovers.

It's just the nature of the beast. Sometimes springs in a kit, whether it's front or back, are not manufactured to exact lengths of one another so one side sits slightly higher than the other. It doesn't bother me much anymore. I've tried adjusting my coilovers to get it as close as possible, but I can never win lol.

1. the car does not have the same weight per corner
2. springs, over time, can sag - stock, aftermarket, doesn't matter
3. the struts, over time, can sag, and not rebound fully (fronts).
4. manufacturing differences from one spring to another
5. luck of the draw. Some cars will get this, no matter what springs they use, others won't
all will controbute to the scenario. If you want the car to be 100% even, coilovers are the only way to accomplish it

back in the day...it was the coil overs were the ONLY way to get my civic to sit evenly.
It mostly has to do with QQ from the factory cause i had this problem from day one.
Thankful that my Z does not have this problem
