I installed my eibach prokit springs, and my tokico hp shocks about 2 months ago. I was wondering how long it takes for the springs to settle, so far the left side of my car is lower than the right side.
I want to know if its normal and has it happened to someone else, or if it just takes a little bit more time.
I take a lot lot more right turns in a day, than i do with left turns.
someone help me solve the problem or think of a conclusion that would be happening in my situation. THANKS!

Double check that the front springs are in the front and back springs in the back...

try jacking up your car and making sure the springs are settled on the bottem of the stay.

check your tire pressure, first thing
make sure the left and right sides of the car have the same tire pressure

even if the springs aren't settled at the bottom, wouldn't the pressure of the car and 'my driving' settle the springs all the way down to the shoc.

The left side of my car seems fine, just the right side doesn't seem settled at all. My tire pressure is 35 psi for all tires(i know i overdid it).

And my springs aren't reversed.. long springs and shocks in front, short springs and shocks in rear.

Any more opinions? thanks

not necessarily

Just yesterday i lubricated the spring with WD40, and i sprayed it down to the shock, so it should go all the way down by now wouldn't it? but if anything i'll just take it out and see, but its such a hassal

the spring seat on the shock isn't perfectly flat.
it has a spot where the end of the coil hits a lip on the seat and it stops the spring from turning. With 1/4 the weight of the car pushing down on that spring and pushing the spring down onto the shock, I don't see it likely that the spring would shift into the proper position.

i think mostly this has to do with whether you are carrying a passenger or just yourself. More weight on one side all the time will make that side settle lower than the other. I had this problem on my 99 EX and all the springs were in the right positions. It was just because i was the only passenger in the car so all the weight was always on the driver's side.

Are you talking about the spring or the strut? How exactly do you lubricate a spring? I think you need to take some pictures and do some creative drawing to show exactly what your referring to. I think you may have your terminology mixed up.

i jacked up my car and i sprayed the wd40 inside the shock where the spring settles

Like I said, I think you have your terms mixed up. Pictures always help. Words just don't cut it.
