Default Help, uneven suspension

Ive just noticed my car sits uneven at the rear, the drivers side is approx 5mm lower than the passenger side. I had eibach springs fitted a couple of months ago and I'm fairly sure they were even after this.

Is this common/normal or a potential problem? Anyone else experianced this before?

This has been talked about before and appears to be fairly common. My car (MY98) sat just as you describe. I had some spacers made from hard plastic that sit between the top mount of the strut and the mounting surface on the rear driver's side. Strangely it took a 1/2" spacer to raise that corner 1/4" !
