Question uneven rear springs? need insight on this

So i was walkin to my car one day after class and noticed that the rear-left side of my car sat a bit lower than the rear-right side. i thought i was due to the uneveness of the parkin spot but later on, i noticed the same condition on a flat surface. any ideas of how to fix it? should i even worry?

Here one method I've used a few times with success.

On the low side of your car just add a rubber spacer pad on the upper rear spring perch to level out the car.

Find a thick rubber mat and cut in the shape of the stock upper rubber spring perch. Sandwich the two pieces together, reassemble, and lower the car. Voila!

Mine has this too I just noticed it recently. Seems to be about an inch, but it's noticeable. I just got it new in June. Gonna take mine in to the dealer to get the warranty hook-up. They should be able to just do a quick alignment, right?

U can sure bring it back to the dealer. But first empty the stuff from your car and check it again yourself after a few days.

I've actually see someone have a trunk fully packed with different stuff(basketball, roller blades, bottles of water, jackets, laptop etc etc) and complaint the ride height is un-even.

The front fender well is bigger than the rear ones, plus the stock rear springs seems to be really really soft that it sits lower even after I applied my E-brake.

I thought I read somewhere that the driver side should be a bit higher by spec, because when you are driving your car alone most of the time it evens out with the drivers weight? Maybe I heard that wrong.
