Exclamation Suspension Question PLEASE HELP!

I have a CLK and I always noticed that the front left side sat a little bit lower than the right side, but it wasn't that big of a deal. This weekend I had my car lowered on Eibachs and since there's less gap, it's much more noticeable. The rear is completely even, but I took measurements and the left front side is 15mm lower than the right front side. What could be causing this? Would it have anything to do with shocks, bushings, etc.? Could I fix it by using different spring pads on the right and left side? Or would that completely screw up my suspension? Anybody with info, please help. Thanks

It is normal to have a minor difference in the 2 sides. If the difference grows, you may have a broken shock. I had what started as a minor difference turn into a 4" gap in 2 days. Does the suspension feel looser than before?

Look and see if your upper conrol arm or steering knuckle is bent on the lower side. I had the exact same problem on my E Class, and I just fixed it last month. Now it's back to normal.
