my car leans to one side
92 honda civic hatch, when i got it as a shell it was slammed and the dude told me it would need an alignment badly. I just put brand new skunk 2 sport shocks and skunk 2 lowering springs, no coilovers, and i also put brand new gold GT3s and brand new tires. I figured all i would need is an alignment, but for some reason my car leans on the passenger side, litterly the passanger side has the perfect drop, almost even with the fenders no touching or rubbing, but then on my drivers side i have like 1 1/2 inchs on the front and back drivers side. but like i said the passanger front and back are perfect? I havent gotten it alignd yet but i dout that has something to do with it....or does it? are my control arms shot? or camber kit? ill have pics up in a few min, but the shocks are not blown if thats what you guys think, cuz i already had them tested befor instal
passanger side, that i think it should look like on the drivers side
drivers side you can see if you look carfuly the hight diff
and now heres the rears jacked up drivers side first and passanger side second
and side shots, cant really tell because of the angle

Re: my car leans to one side
I know my 97 civic when dropped had a rear driver side sag but, that is natural for some honda's. That's why I bought ground control's to fix, still have to install them, also check all your suspension components, for example the rear trailling arm bushin's etc? Allso search to see if it has ever been in and accident?

Re: my car leans to one side
no accidents, and i just jacked up the rear end on the tow hook, and the passanger rear was off the ground in like 3 jacks, but the drivers rear took like damn near 10 jacks, while i was jacking the car up i was watching the lower control arms and the passanger rear stopped moving after 3 jacks, and the drivers kept moving while jacking the car up letting the wheel keep comin down, are they on to tight on the passanger side? or loose on the drivers side?

Re: my car leans to one side
That's normal for these cars. I believe it the bushings that are sagging and the whole drivers side suspension. Some guys go with coilovers so they adjust that out.
Go the drag racing forum and PM one of the shop owners/racers. They may know exactly what to do. Try Tony1 he's kind of the god of honda's right now.
