as first i thought it would be your schocks, but that's really weird considering you haven't modified your suspension. all i can say is take it to the shop and get them to fix it?

i have the same problem on my accord and the 92 integra LS. i haven't checked the integra but the accord has a .4 degrees difference of camber on the left than on the right. might be that your crossbones shifted to the left. i know that's what mine did

you really can't, unless you replace them. have maaco look at the chassis and have them measure it.

my cars does the same thing but on the drivers side but i dont weigh very much so... anyway if you replace your springs it should fix it. its probably that one of your springs are starting to compress.

It is probably your shocks. Try to put as pressure on that side if you here any ssshhh sound then it probably is shock leakage. I once had a blown shock on my front passenger side and it was lower than my drivers side.

shocks dont have to do with ride height, so replacing the shock will not help

Is this with you in the car or not?

If you are in the car the drop should even out.

I beg to differ. Blown shocks are capable of giving into pressure. The weight of your car on each side should be the same. Therefore if one shock is blown on one side a slight sagging is possible on that side. Ask a mechanic. He should clear that subject up for you. I'm not tryin to be smart. I've just had some bad experience with blown shocks.

it would only change if someone were to sit on that side of the car if their is no one in the car ride height wont change with any blown shocks. lots of mechanics wouldnt know anyway, plus it is common since on the subject being discussed, i also wouldnt ask a mechanic cause i work at a shop anyway
