Default suspension

hey guys i have a 01 sh and i noticed that when i lowered the car the left front is a little higher than the right and it is lowered all the way is this because there is more weight on the driver's side than the passenger? i can stick like 2 fingers in the passenger and the drivers its like tight to put 2 fingers so just curious if that is normal or something is wrong thanks

the motor sits more on the driver side than passenger and the tranny isnt as heavy to make up the weight, so i would say its normal, but what kind of springs/sleeves/overs do u have, cheap ones sometimes arent equal...also sometimes they need a period of time to settle so if its been a short time then they could just be settling...

What kind of setup do you have? What company springs? Check tire pressure. Yes the engine side is heavier but that shouldn't make too much of a difference IMO.

I started seeing the same thing when I recently swapped out my stock suspension for the Mugen Sport Suspension (which is neither cheap nor poor quality!) and I'm a stickler for making sure tire pressure is identical at all 4 wheels. It's a little annoying when putting the car up on stands and such but it doesn't seem to have affected drive quality.
