Default My Lude Slants

I recently realized that my car slants to the left at a lower angle. I recently changed my tires and I noticed that my camber is HORRIBLE. Also, my car is dropping on neuspeed lowering springs. What do you guys think could be making the car lower on the left side? Any feedback is appreciated.

It's probably because when you sit in the car, then it will even out. I've put alot of of test 'n tune time into my car, and I have my gc's set up so that the car sits slightly higher on the drivers side when I'm not in it.

If you have really uneven tire wear, it might be a toe problem that's accelerating the wear instead. Definitely get an alignment to zero out your toe, and it certainly wouldn't hurt to fix your camber as well.

My Integra sat lower on the driver's side, because its heavier on that side. 52/48 left/right wieght %, at least thats what the scales said.

The uneven-ness was made even worse during corner balancing, when the driver's front was lowered even further, to help balance the cross weights.

Eh, I'm the only one that notices the car is uneven, no one can see both sides at the same time.
