Car sits lower on the drivers side, even after swapping............
My 98 Civic EX sits lower on the drivers side, even after swapping springs and struts from side to side. Anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have a stock engine? Engine swaps will put a little more weight on the drivers side. Also, how far are you off. I have noticed a few stock civics that friends have and it seems about an 1/8 off but then again there is a little more weight on the drivers side.

Welcome to the land of sagging Civic's, that's part of life.
That's why they make coilovers. lol
Some say it's the bushings.

The motor is your standard D-16Y8 w/IHE. I guess bushings is the only thing that makes sense. Does anyone make a kit in polyurethane?

Boy I guess your new here.
Yes energy suspension is one that comes to mind. I would recommend you go to the Drag Racing forum and find one of the racers that have there own shop. Call them and buy your products from them. You'll get great customer service, free info and you'll be helping someone the supports the Sport.
Hey I used to live in Hesperia when I was at GAFB.
For you I would look up Laskey Racing, buy your stuff from Mike. His Dad and I used to exchange photo's.
Haven't heard from Mike in a while, I'll have to email him.
