AGX's aren't height adjustable. You probably have one of the strut tower nuts tightened down past the others. If not, maybe you have a blown shock or sagging spring on that side of the car.

well its strange because teh car was sagging with all stock susp. then i switched to new struts and springs and one side is still lower. I know they are not height adj, but i always here people say what setting there struts are ast when they state how lowered they are, so I was assuming that the dampening has SOME bearing on height. If not then at least i know now

Did you ever check to see if there's anything obviously wrong with your suspension?

Naw it was never wrecked, I had it checked out thoroughly before I bought it, and it has always ridden perfectly, I get compliments all the time about how well it ride for being 11 years old. But there is about a 1 finger gap difference on each side, even lookin at my tie bar from 10 feet back from teh vehicle you can see the body is not in line with it.

Weird eh? Think I am gonna pick up some GCs and put them on my existing tokico blues and level it out from there, see how that goes

are you 100% sure it was never ever wrecked? not totalled, just hit a curb too hard or whatever.. people can get away with not reporting each accident the car goes through.

maybe old bushings worn out causing one side to sit lower then the other? just a possibility.

sounds like the classic "lower on the driver side" honda syndrome.been many threads about this.coilovers will allow you to even it out.

aren't suspensions supposed to be uneven for corner balancing?
