Default EK suspension/height/steering help! (1998 uk ek4 - US si i think)

Hi, this my first post! and was looking for a few answers..

Ive had two EK's, one was an EK3 (d15) and my current one is an EK4 (b16).

Anyway, both of them have sat slightly lower on the drivers side.

My EK4 is lowered on Koni SSK's (35mm) and has just had poly bushes fitted to the front lower control arms.

The problems are that when i steer right, its amazingly good and like im on rails, but steering left is actually *lighter* and easier and feels much more vauge!
Another things worth mentioning , is that if i put the steering at 1 oclock and let go, it springs back to centre. If i put it to 11 oclock and let go, it keeps steering left! It also pulls left.

Alignment is probably out, but could that cause this sensation?

Has anybody experienced this before?
I measured the heights from the lower suspension fork bolt in the control arm to the ground on each side, and they are both about 14.5cm , which would suggest nothing is bent at that point.

What im wondering, is whether the lower drivers side could cause this vauge left steering?

Honda have told my my rear LCA and Trailing arm bushes need replacing ASAP, which i will sort.


Can anybody help me relate the issues?


Sorry for the bit random crap i just typed!

Cheers!
