by suspension do you mean springs , or coil on sleaves, or full coil overs because if there just spring maby the shocks are bed, or it could be a simple as springs not sitting corectly on the perch

there could be a chance you put bolth rear springs on one side of the car and the fronts on the other because the front and rear spring have a diff spring rates or it could be bushing bad on one side of the car so there sagging

LoL
That's what I was thinking.
@ OP: You sure you put the right springs in the right place? LoL?

Re: (JdmLyfeStyle01)
Well maybe you should ask your boys at your Big shop how to spell. Did you even bother to check? I bet you didnt because you are just so "wright"

Re: (JdmLyfeStyle01)
Did they do the install right? I know whenever you do a drop on a car your supposed to cut the bump stops on the shock in half im not sure if that would have anything to do with it otherwise the only other thing i can think of is they are siting on the shock "rong"

I actually just installed a set of Skunk 2 springs on my freinds 96 coupe aswell. I noticed that the driver does sit a little lower than the passenger. I made sure that i put these in very good and everything lined up. I couldt seem to figure out why it does this though.

maby your car has just been wrecked realy hard and the ppl who owned it didnt have insurance so in that case nothing would go on the cars history it happins all the time i work at a auto auction and see this every day than some scum bag come in and buys a totled out car and fixes every thing up and sells it to some dumb *** for some un godly price,
if you need help lookin to see it its been wrecked check for oem spot welds on the inside of you trunk were the quarter pannals meet with any thing they should be welded in, pull back the weather stripping in you door and check for them also. same with the core suport

Re: (killercannible)
my 96' coupe has the same problem man...it is sitting on h&r springs too....but like others said...mine was in a wreck before I bought it so the passenger side sits a little higher than the drivers and I got it at an auction 
....but for $800...buy some coilovers and lower that side a bit more....nice little ghetto way of doing it

Same with my car. Passenger side didn't lower as much as the drivers side and it is very noticable. Weird thing is the alignment was more out of spec on the passenger side too. My car hasn't been in an accident but I did swap my front lower control arms so I could install a sway bar. I drive a 98 hatch and I have Tanabe NF210 springs on KYB-GR2s.

Re: (RedRocketDX)
this topic has been covered numerous times. the bolts going through the lca's front and rear must not be tightened until the full weight of the car is on the springs. if you tighten the bolts while the suspension is at full droop ( car jacked up) it will preload the bushings in the direction that you are tightening the bolts. thus causing the car to sit uneven after the springs settle.
