i dont know if you guy notice but i always see cars with different ride hight. like i mean i will see one car go buy and then if i see the same make model car go buy it will have a diffent ride hight.

like a linclon towncar. i have seen some that look low and then i will see one that looks like it has a lift kit on it

why does the same make and model have a diffent ride hight?

my car is like this too. like once i parked next to a 2000 bonne SLE and my car was like half and inch higher? ya they could have some stuff in the car but usually the front of the car doesnt change even when you add load. i will try to look for pics to show you an example.

My guesses are...

Humm..... tire size? Old or new shocks?

Just guesses.

Sometimes they put different springs/struts on different years to improve the suspension

The '93 STS has a driver sitting in it, the 95 doesn't.
If a cars suspension were to sag over time, chances are it would be worse on the drivers side. Also, it could be that different factory installed options and even different engines put more weight on the same suspension setup in different cars. Those are my guesses...
