Anyone know why the passenger side would sit just a tad higher than the driver side?

I have Koni Yellows and ITR stock springs. Its only about 1/2 inch difference, but its noticeable to me.

Any ideas?

Are you positive that your car has a 50/50 left/right weight distribution?

I can say my GSR certainly doesn't, and accordingly the driver's side sits lower.

No I'm not positive. So I guess the only way to fix that is coil overs?

 

it is quite common for the passenger side to sit a little higher than the driver side on hondas. Also, make sure that the front strut goes all the way down into the fork

If you're willing to trade handling for cosmetics, yes. Raising the heavier corner up to level with the lighter corner will push the corner weights even further "off" than stock.

And I should apologize for my earlier post. A transverse engine FWD car is never balanced left/right, since the engine isn't centered in the chassis.

 

when i still had the stock suspension on my 99 civic, the front passenger side was a bit higher than the front driver side. There's a resonable answer for that but unfortuantly i can't answer it for you ahah. All in all, its not a big deal.

 

ya, I had the exact same problem with my 98' gsr. The pass. side sat higher than the driver side. Even after lowering it, it still sat higher. Really bugged me at first but I eventually got used to it.

 

it just sucks because the passenger side has less camber than the driver's side.

With correct toe settings, this will not be an issue for tire wear.

In terms of being a handling issue, it isn't (enough to worry about anyway).
