like i said the only way i could tell was to measure. i noticed he said the back was leaning more than the front, that does mean something is not right.

we went and measured it we moved the car and checked several times. It is like 1/32 of an inch lower on the passenger side LOL. BUT it is lower so you are right craby. I wonder if the lean progresses over time.

Adam9066 – a shock can definitely alter the ride height of a vehicle if it’s a gas-charged shock. If one gas charged shock was blown out, it could cause the car to lean a little. Typical visual signs of a blown shock is seepage at the stem seal.
Other reasons a car would lean to one side are; chassis damage (from racing or collision), a failing coil spring, and worn out bushings.
If you’re going to drive your car hard, we suggest investing in some subframe connectors:

Here is a front and rear shot. The right exhaust tip looks to be bent down slightly. So you guys think this is normal and nothing to worry about? I was planning on changing the springs and shocks in the near future anyways to achieve a meaner stance. Thanks

Looks fine to me too. I think that's close to how mine looks.

Regardless of whether they're bad or not, if you're running stock shocks and springs I would upgrade them like you said you planned on doing. You will notice a huge difference.
