Default 1993 mustang 2.3 Sagging on one side

My 93 2.3 coupe is sagging about 1/2 inch on the passenger side both in the front and in the back. The car has new struts in the front and new shocks in the back. I am thinking maybe the springs are bad, but I was wondering if anyone has had this problem before?
Thanks

Sagging springs is common. If they are original, they are gone, shot, by now.

However, I find it interesting that you have new shocks and struts...


If the top and bottom isolators were left off on one side - and replaced on the other - it makes about 1/2" of difference.

Then there's the twilight zone idea...

OK, this one is a wild question - Do you think there is any way the springs were mixed up on the new strut/shock install?

Putting the 2 front springs on one side and the 2 rear spirngs on the other might create a problem like this. Who did the install?

Just a wild idea.

I changed out the struts and shocks over one year ago before I got rid of the car. The guy that I got the car from changed out the front struts. Some where down the line the rearend was changed out for some reason that I don't know why.
