My Tein S-Tech sagged on the right side

hello, does anymone here have the same problem as me ?
the spring that i buoght was used, but i didn't notice any problem until a month ago, it's about a year an a half since i use this springs, by the way, my jazz is Right Hand Drive.. that's why i'm curious why the right side is shorter than the left side ??

and, is there something i can do to fix this ?

Try swapping left<->right sides..

The reason yours sags on the right... is the same reason many USDMs sag on the left... because of YOU, the driver. You are a constant source of weight for one side.

The only way to prevent the "mismatch" is to even out the weight. Either you lose weight, or you add weight to the other side of the car.
