suspension question
hey guys
well i upgraded to tokico blues and still running on goldline lowering springs. k the same problem exists. the rear driver side is higher than the rear passenger side. the gap on the rear driver side is pretty much my whole hand! i can completely see the springs and they seem compressed and sometimes the bottom is not compressed while the rear passenger side is a little more than my index finger. what is going on guys??
PICS
rear driver side
passenger side
what is this???
notice that black thing to the left side. is that supposed to be there?

the springs are not upside down, the softer coils should be at the top like that. Plus the springs would sit really messed up due to the spiraled perch on the shock verses the flat perch on the hat.
Maybe the springs are messed up?
Does the front of the car sit level?
Are the bushings in the shock mount ok on the passenger side?
As far as that goes, are any of the bushings loose or off center? (front or rear)
BTW the black thing to the left of the tire is the brake line. and yep it is supposed to be there.

Re: (Relic1)
how does it ride on bumps (does it feel like something is holding that part of the car from rebounding properly)? maybe they sent you the wrong spring rate on one spring, that's a pretty drastic difference.

I've had this problem before. Are you sure you have the correct springs for your car? Try checking the serial/part numbers on the springs on their homepage and make sure they match your application.

Could it be the camber or rebounding adjusts?
Maybe "those bastards" (hehehe) did it wrong or simply doesn't it...
Check the buschings and this adjusts...
I really hope that this springs are the right ones 4 your car my friend... good luck 4u!!!

Re: (Santanna)
gangsta lean! you're springs are binding, that's not good. check your Lower Control Arms. sell the springs and get some coilovers when all else fails.

Re: suspension question (c00t3rs)
uneveness is a common prob with most civics. considering everything is installed correctly, the only way around is to get coilovers
