Default Anyone know how to get rid of this?

My 95 eh2 is always lower on the driver side. Is there anyway to rid of that? Does it get worse over time? What is the cause of this lean?

when I put my coilover sleeves about 3 months ago, I raised the driver side (both front and rear) just a little higher than the passenger side to compensate for the lean. I didn't raise it high enuf to make it even but just enuf to be not as obvious. (less than 1/2 finger width difference)

Now, they've got a difference of one finger gap. I think it's getting worse. What should I do? HELP!

maybe you have one rear spring in the front and vice versa for the rear. we accidentially did that to my friends 00 si and no matter how much we raised or lower either side it was still off. so we found the problem and fixed it. try it.

For some reason, there's always has been problems with one side lower than the other. My 97 seems lower at the left rear. Shop who lowered my car actually measured it and said nothing was wrong. He also explained the proper way to measure is to have the car on stands, and etc. My difference is not one figer, but enough to notice to a careful eye.

I have heard this many times from Civic guys. And yet some guys don't have any difference. I also checked with a honda mechanic guy, who is into fixed up Hondas. And he said there is nothing from the factory about dailing in more camber on the left side, cause U.S. drivers make more right turns.

Sounds like you need to go on a diet.

My car sat like that when i had Eibach prokit springs on it. The rear passenger side was about 1.5" higher than the rest of the car. I've talked to alot of people about it ,and they tell me that is how most unibody cars sit. But, you don't really notice until you lower it.

You should be able to make up the difference with the CO's. Just lower one side and raise the other until it is leveled out. That's what i did with mine......HTH
