Car sits uneven
96 Civic with Neuspeed sport springs, skunk 2 camber kit on front and back. It leans to the drivers side and is really noticable. Did the springs just settle this way? Is my camber a little off on 1 side of the other somehow making it lower/higher? I cant figure it out but it makes me mad lol

Re: Car sits uneven
totally normal. was leaning before you put the springs in and you just didnt notice the difference. just happens over time as chassis and bushings wear and flex unevenly.
get an alignment if you havent already. or else youll be chewing thru tires.

Re: Car sits uneven
I bought the car with the alignment already done and the springs on it. So I dont know how it sat before. Tire wear I dont see any difference. Its really uneven though and then I sit in the car obviously on the drivers side which is already low and it leans even more.

Re: Car sits uneven
the alignment is regardless of the car sitting uneven. im saying it just does that, get over it. just read a few threads here, youre not the only one.
if youre chewing thru tires, your alignment is bad and needs fixing.

i look into investing in some new shocks and struts maybe? yeah coilovers would be awesome if you find a set that is a quality name brand such as tein...but only if your willing to shell out some dough

Re: Car sits uneven
i just put ground controls with grey kyb and set all four coils to the same hight and my drivers side sits 3/4 of and inch higher than the passengers side, so i lowerd the driver side coil 5 spins down to even it out, will this affect steering or anything else

Re: Car sits uneven
absolutely. get it aligned when youre done tinkering with your ride height. anytime you change a ride height at any corner, you changed the toe.

Re: Car sits uneven
This is going to sound retarded, but check your rear LCAs. I managed to fit one of mine upside down thinking they were independant parts, but they are not, they are infact the same piece of pressed metal used left and right, but one side is back to front. Very easy for either you or the previous owner to do this if they/you are not careful as you simply fit them 'facing' the same way.
This had exactly the effect you describe, noticeably lower on one cornerer, but no difference in handling/tyre wear.
