Default Uneven Suspension?

hello guys

lately my car has been sitting uneven and I'm not sure why, i was in an minor accident about a year ago and everything got fixed that was damaged, and the body shop put the car on a laser machine and everything checked out o.k (or so they said) and i even had them take it honda and they said that everything was fine. so i took the car home and didnt really kno what to do, some people say that its my struts and someone told me that something isnt aligned right, im not sure what to do, my car is lowerd on tien S tech springs and im still on the OEM struts, the entire driver side is uneven while the passenger side is lowerd here are some pix, any advice would be appreciated thanks for looking guys

I would say it is probably your struts. They don't always necessarily wear the same. I think that if you just buy another set of shocks it would help. I don't like reusing stock struts when lowering it. It puts more pressure on the struts cause they are compensating for the lowered car. Coilovers ftw. :D Umm, an alignment would possibly help, but from what I can see from the pictures, nothing looks off..

Doesnt look off to me either. I think you'd know if your struts were blown, wouldnt be too surprising either, Tein springs are junk, IMO.

instead of using fingers as a measuring device, go to the store and pick up a 30 cent ruler...

make sure all of your suspension components are ok and get back to us... take a few pics of each corner with the car jacked up and wheel off...

make sure the ground on which you're measuring is level too
