suggestions on why my car is leaning.
didn't really notice this till yester day, but my car leans towards the driver side. i look at it, and i think i have spring sag. the springs i am sure, have well over 235,xxx miles on them, and it doesn't help that im 260lbs.
now how much of a lean you ask? will the passanger front, is at a three finger gap. the driver side is at a two finger gap. i've looked and checked to make sure that the clip on the shock was at stock height setting so don't think that could be it. my only solution besides buying new springs is to swap the fronts around to see if it'll still lean.
could it be anything else besides the springs sagging?

forgot to say, that it leans even when im not in the car, and the shocks are not stock. they are Koni yellows with the spss3 valving. but if it helps, sure, move it over the the suspesion forum. i just thinking since they're are a lot of guys that have these shocks here in this forum, thought they could help out better.
lots of ppl ask this question because its very common. its still not a rr/ax question.
all cars will end up leaning. cars arent balanced. 20 years of use with usually a driver on one side and tighter right turns than left turns will lean a car. it was like that before. you just didnt notice it. it becomes more apparent once you lower a car and reduce the gap.
your koni's should have circlip adjustments. just use those if it bothers you.

will looks like im just going to get new springs. in the end the newer springs will be stiffer then my old and tired springs. plus will be looking to get a bigger front sway bar from an integra.
on another note, the car handles great. after getting used to how the hoosiers feel (need to be warmed up) the car is amazing. super fast now. comparing my times now with another car that ran the same times i did last year. i am now 4 1/2 sec's faster. and once Mike Louie showed me how to launch with the slicks, went to about a full 5 sec faster.
so thanks to Mike for showing me how to go faster in spots that i was going slow in and to everyone else for all their advice.
