If the driver side is lower, it's probably because there's always a person on that side, and not always a passenger, so it settled lower. If not, then something went wrong when you dropped it.

well, it would just affect one side just because the driver is always in the car. I took it apart again and looked at the shock, and how i installed it, everything was fine. I just don't know whats up with that damn car.

is it common for one side to be lower than the other side, the driver side. I just remembered, we switched the springs and nothing happened. driver spring and passanger spring.

Hey, I have a 92 DX hatch and I have a similar problem. Mine is on the rear wheel on the drivers side. I think it's about 0.5-1 inch lower than on the other side. I've tried to get it checked out at the mechanic's but my car is too low (actually, my body kit is low). Sorry, I'm not totally sure what the problem is BUT, it might have something to do with the rear lower control arm. I remember when I was changing out my suspension the arm on the driver's side seemed loose and didn't want to spring down towards the ground like the arm on the passenger's side. But that might just be the force of the spring on the arm. Yeah, this problem has been bugging me too. Oh yeah, I have Eibach ProKits and KYB AGX shocks.
