Back left spring blown?

Well my buddy just noticed that the rear left of my car is lower then then my rear right, causing my front right to be higher than my front left ( completely messing up alignment). I am planning to have my mechanic take a look at tomorrow and see what he says. I just recently bought the car a few days ago and i don't recall seeing that . Could it have been when i toggled the gxl's (lack of a better word) "auto suspension" from sport to racing (or w/e)?

Auto Suspension, as far as I know, does not adjust ride height. It only adjust the shock stiffness.

You didn't perhaps hit a curb with it or anything did ya? Anyway, the Auto Susp wouldn't do that and even if it did, you should get that fixed anyway...
Mechanics cost money so you could have just jacked it up and have a look. Hopefully nothing is cracked, bent, twisted unevenly, etc. because that would be bad...

I brought it into my mechanic today and he say it was just because the the rear tires are different. I knew the were different but they were (just bought it 4 days a go, new tires on the way) relatively the same width i checked there psi and the one that was lower had a max inflate of 35 and it was and the right one had a max inflate of 50 and it was that, so i guess it makes sense. I didn't think it would make such it sag that much though.

Read the tyre codes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code
It'll tell you everything you need to know. If the numbers don't match, you bought the wrong tyres..
