I've installed Tein lowering springs. The front driver's side is higher than the rest. I have swapped the driver's side and passengers side and still have the same problem of the driver's side being higher. I've checked all the mounts, compared the springs, and still have no clue why the driver's side is still higher. Is there something I'm missing that somebody can help me with and is there another way to adjust ride height on the standard car? It is a '99 Honda Civic EK

 

your bushings might be twisted on that side or bent control arm could be all kinds of things, strut half blown on that side etc im no expert

 

Well, you've ruled out the springs with the swap. How much is the difference? Are we talking a few millimeters, or inches?

The difference is 15 / 17 millimeteres (a significant visual and handling difference).

 

polyeurthane bushings my friend. will fix everything and give you better handling.

 

where did you buy the springs, their selling boot leg springs on e-bay, and are the springs properly seated in the strut??

 

i have the same problem...i have KYB shocks with H&R springs all around and my LF is lower than my RF...i came to find out that my RR upper shock mount bushing wasnt on right when the guy installed it b4 i bought the car...its still sittin the same as b4 until i get new suspension or if i can get an upper bushing from somewhere

I have the same set up but my RF is lower than my LF. I'm going to replace all my bushings.

 

I have that same set up too^^^ but it's my passenger rear that's an inch higher than the rest. I've taken it apart, put it back together, swapped them around, etc it's always that same damn corner. I figured it was something I wasn't seeing that was bent or tweaked or I just ended up with a goofy spring, first time I've had H+Rs.

 

lolz...didnt noe that much ppl had this setup...and we all have the same problems but on diff. corners..

 

When you take your suspensions apart, make sure that when you bolt things back together, you compress the suspension at each corner ( using a floor jack ). Or if possible, put the car on the ground , then tighten things up.

 

exactly why an adjustable suspension is desirable

 

i have the same problem on my eg. i just learned about this place and i think is great. thanx 4 all the help.

 

Just save up and buy fully adjustable coil overs. Well worth it in every way. I recomend omni power

I have the same problem as you bro. I got agx's w/ h&r race springs and my rear passenger side is higher

 

So that's 4 members of the 1 taller than the rest H+R/KYB squad already? We need to start working on some stickers
