Oh but not that much. I've lowered tons of cars, alot would sit a little uneven, but not even the width of the finger. Try jacking the car back up and checking the seat of the spring, you may just have to turn it by hand a little

Your driver side struts are a little more worn out because usually when you are in the car, you are alone. IMO, If you replace the struts with Koni Yellows, I believe it will fix your problem.
i have the same problem with my crx...
i also have TONS of suspension setup...
H&R sports..
the passenger side is like 2 finger gap, driver side is like 1 tight finegr gap...
(some mentioned maybe its from worn bushings?)

Have the same problem,, it is from single driver usage...
and I weigh about 450lbs. .. too..
Driver front=2"
Driver rear=2.5"
Pass front=2.5"
Pass rear=3.5"
it looks funny sitting there... I got new struts and adj. springs... will put them on and see what happens...

I had this problem.
I used brand new oem springs, shocks and all the bushings....but the difference (about 2-3 fingers width) was still there. So if you're hoping that solves the issue, you're in for a disappointment.
Turns out a lot of CRXs have it with some degrees of height difference. Its been explained to me that each corner weighs a little different but that the spring rates are as identical as QA can realistically achieve.
If there's 500lbs pressing down on one corner and 425 on another, the spring compression height will reflect that difference.
So what are your options?
1. Corner weighting...find a local race shop that has the four corner scales and balance it out as much as possible.
2. Adjustable height coilovers. This is what I eventually did. I threw 200lbs of weight in the front seat and adjusted them for a level ride. Obviously there is a still a minor difference when I'm out of the car but when I'm in it, its perfectly level.
