Default suspension issue

I'm just curious. Got a toyota corolla rwd sr5.
Car is lowered on megan racing springs and has a gangster lean to the left. (just the rear, not the front) You'd think that when hitting a dip or bump, the left side would scrape, but it's the right tire that's rubbing the fender despite being higher... the car rides fine and besides this problem, there isn't anything else wrong with the ride. Any thoughts? I might be missing other info, but just let me know. Thanks.

That, or maybe the spring isn't seated properly?

you probably have two blown shocks and one spring that is not seated correctly. or a bent panhard bar that is making the right side of the car go in a little bit making it rub over a bump or curb. it could be a couple things you should start by replacing the shocks first

on a lowered car with a straight axle you will need to adjust the panhard bar. if you look at the rear you will notice one wheel sits closer to the fender than the other.
