Default KONI/ESPELIR Driver side is .25 inch lower than passenger side...

I have a quick question for anyone that can help... I installed KONI Yellows with espelir ASD. The whole drivers side sits about .25 inch lower than passenger side. How can you tell what springs are front and rear. There are no descriptions on the springs telling you which are front and rear... Can anyone help me with images or what i need to look for to try and identify which is front and rear springs? Thanks ....

you need to get an alignment and it should be fixed

ummm is the spring sitting flush? that might be your problem...
did you preload the suspension?
did you put the springs on the right side up?
my springs had labels on them... Swifts FTW

Check for flat tire

You put the 2 matching springs on for front and rear, correct? How long have the been on the car? Sometimes they settle.

I should have got it done by someone on the streets... I probably would have better luck... I actually had someone at honda do it... The forum brags about this setup...I've had no luck so far....

My espiler had labels on them....I guess I got lucky?

It does sound like you got one switched up...there should be 2 matching pairs of springs in height

first if you really want to take measurement you need to put the car on a level surface. Even if the pavement seems flat, its not.

Also its always normal that one side of your car is heavier. Probably that with your stock springs it was already lower on this side.
