Default side ways springs.

Ok, so i installed my H&R sports on my kyb agx's about a month ago.

They are great and all, and i didn't think they would 'settle' but they have a little.

i'm not sure what it looks like when im in the car but here is the finger gaps as of right now.

FRONT Driver: tight one finger
REAR Driver: tight two fingers


FRONT Pass: tight two fingers
REAR Pass: loose two fingers



Now is this because i don't have passengers in my car ever, or is there anything else i could try to make that side settle more? my car is about 2000lbs or less, with basically nothing on the interior/cargo area...

(uploading some pics too)

its very common. its mostly due to worn bushings. but basically, its quite typical that the driver side sits lower than the passenger side due to the difference in weight. its not the springs fault either. just accept it.

Its very common, I'd guess that 99% of the cars I've lowered w/springs come out a little uneven

on the top spring perches, there are these rubber things it sits on, which help cushion the spring. you could take it out of the passenger side and just wrap the top of the spring in something thinner.

why did your sport springs drop your car as much or more than my race springs? I have a large 2 finger gap with 195/50/15's in the front and a 1.5" gap in the rear. B16a engine and the car is an 88 dx. I hate the drop of these damn race springs, and if i knew the sports would drop it as much or more then i would have gotten those
