Default Coilover help / Adjusting

I have a 90 Integra with coilovers. I cant get my adjustments right on my coilovers. The car seems lower or higher on each sides. Any tips to get the car leveled? Thanks

Make sure your car is on a flat, level road or driveway or parking lot. Adjust each coilover accordingly. For example, look at your car dead on in the front. If the passenger side is higher, lower just the passenger side to level it with the driver side. Or vice versa. Same goes for the rear. If all else fails, put stock springs back on lol.

if u have sleeves make sure that the sleeves are right side up on all sides..
i used my fingers to measure the clearance between the turning thingys lol
no fingers to 1 finger dumped then 2 is too low then 3 is just right haha
use a tape measurer to measure ride hight so that its even on both sides

Thanks I used a tape measure and it keeps off by 1 inch. I think youre right about the surface though. Its at an angle at the drive way

One of my struts went out on the passenger side and its KYB and the others are skunk 2. Would this make a difference in height?

i believe that the skunk2 are abit stiffer so the ride height will be the same when u adjust it acordingly but the ride will be different...aka stiffer on the S2 side but softer and a bit bouncy on the KYB...i had some tokicos on my teg in front and some oem in bak and the bak was preety dam bouncy but the front stiff as a ****
