Eg - Uneven Suspension - Eibach Pro Kit & KYB AGX's - Just installed - yes I "searched"
Just had my suspension installed today for my 93hb dx. Eibach Pro Kit springs, and KYB AGX's.
After searching, I've heard plenty of people explaining that it is normal for the car to be uneven. The catch is, they all say that their drivers side leans...well, for me it's the passenger side. The front right side looks "slammed". I don't even want to take a passanger (had my mom sit behind me...sad I know).
The rear right side also sags, but not as much, and I'm not sure if the front right sagging is contributing to this.
I've read that you have to make sure the shock is set appropriately, that there are perches (though I couldn't see any). But tomorrow, I'm going to take off the tires and check it out.
I've also read that some springs like Eibach & HnR come "set", and there's no "settling" period, so that means that the left front and left rear won't settle, and more importantly, the front right won't magically "unslam" itself.
I'll have pictures tomorrow. The uneveness isn't mild, it's pretty drastic, with the front right tire being well into the wheel well, and the left side having about 2 - 3 fingers of space from the top of the tire to the wheel well.
Any help/thoughts/techincal expertise/advice is appreciated.
I read in a post once that one should try lifting the suspension with the jack on the suspension itself, loosening the bolts and re-tightening them. But I can't find that post, and am not sure if it applies to my situation.

I just thought of something...and this may be a TRUE NOOB mistake.
Are the Eibach Springs all the same size??
I mean, does it matter what corner of the car they go in, or are certain springs for the front, and some for the back...??
I'm guessing that may have been my mistake, and I put the one's that went on the back on the right side....*****...

Nope. Long ones go in front.
