Default Uneven ride height...

Noticed today that my car has uneven ride height🤔
The front driver side is quite abit lower than the other side of the car... just measured it with my hand and it's 3 fingers between tyre and wheel arch on the driver side and nearly double that on the passenger? Has the shock likely had it? Or the spring? No knocking coming from it so wandering if it could be something else... anything I can check myself before getting it booked in at a garage?
It's a blob sti and from what I can see the springs look pretty corroded all round but it's just that front corner sitting low!

Thanks for any help👍

Broken spring? weak spring? knackered shock?
Get it to a decent suspension place.

Carnetix at Melton Mowbray is excellent. About 90 miles from you.

I've noticed my 2005 widetrack sits slightly higher on the passenger side also, bugs me as the drivers side looks better, weird one, no broken springs on mine and have read it's quite common

Proper annoying! Only one corner is that low but nothing noticeable when driving... just looks weird! Going to see rich at FB tuning next week so will see if he has any idea?!
Might change the front springs to see if it helps.. any recommendations? 😎
