WTF? my car is lop sided!!
ok, i have a serious problem... i put my car up on jack stands ( i jacked it up and put stands where a pic from a previous post said to) today to adjust the parking brake. it was up there a while cause i got distracted and did a few other things. then when i was done i put it back down and started driving to my gfriends house for some luvin. on the way i noticed my car handled a lot differently. sorta felt like i had a flat tire so i stopped and checked the tires but they were fine. so i got back in my car thinking i was just being parinoid. but more driving and it just didnt seem right. when i got to her house i got out and looked over the whole thing. when i got to the back i backed up and looked at it from a distance and noticed it was no level... the drivers side was quite a bit lower that the passanger side. there is nothing heavy in the car and i know my weight wouldnt even make it lien that much(108lb). wtf is wrong with it?!

springs
When you jacked up the car and took the load off of the suspension the springs probably moved in the spring perch and did not align or seat properly. I would jack it back up and try and align them. Just a thought

I think your saying that it's low in the right rear correct? Would you say it's about an 1" low? If so the eccenctric bolt was probably not very tight and now its sitting all the way low on the swing arm.
If thats the case it's an easy fix.

108 lbs!? aren't you a guy? my sister weighs like 120lbs, and she is a twig. although, she's in the drill team, and dances a lot, and muscle weighs more than fat... but damn.
