Koni/gc help?
I am having trouble with my ride height no matter what I do I can't get my passenger side as low as my driver side it's about an inch higher and I have put the shock and coilover on the lowest setting and it seems to have no effect on it and is still an inch higher does any one have any info that can help me out thanks

why not raise your driver side to match your passenger side?
also this is known to happen. think it's cause your bushings in your suspension on that side have gotten soft and such. only real way of fixing it is to get new bushings.

Cause I want it to be lower lol I was also thinking I notice the bump stop is touching the shock already I was thinking of cutting the Koni bump stop and which bushings are you talking about
if depending on the spring length, the lowest setting might have your car to the point your arms are hitting the frame. what you said isn't normal and either you have mis matched springs or you have different lengths on each side
I check that also I put both springs next to each other and there the same length
Ya there on the same I also put it on the last clip and it still wouldn't make a difference I feel like something is stopping it from going any lower I just don't no what it could be

With adjustable coilovers, you always have to set the perches at different heights to get an even ride height on each side. So if you've got them both maxed out down at the bottom (which puts both perches at the same height), the left side will always be lower.
That's just how it is.
What springs are you running? I was pretty damn low when I had GC's with 8" 380 lb. front springs, and the front Koni circlip set to the TOP setting. I could have gotten another 3" lower, which would mean the upper A-arm and axles would hit the unibody/frame before the springs were fully loaded.

Not sure the spring rates there not custom there just the basic of what ever gc sends u and right now it's not on the lowest setting I'm going to try and mess with it tomm to see if I can get it even I just don't want to go that low on the shock clips cause it will make it ride bad
whoa whoa hold up, you want to totally slam the car to the ground, yet you're concerned about moving the Koni circlips down making it ride bad? lol moving the circlips won't make much difference in ride quality than where you're already at if you have the GC perches at the extreme lowest setting.
I want to tuck thread not really tire cause since my oil pan is so low I can't tuck tire and I'm not a fan of letting other ppl working on my car I'm going to mess with it more tomm and see if I can fix it
i can understand the other people on your car, but you should know, not every shop knows how to corner balance. it's mostly a racing shop, or a shop that deals with guys that race.
trust me, when you see them bring out sand bangs, and ask how much you weight. they are legit.

You said you had the GC sleeves maxed as low as they would go, but you said you wanted to go lower rather than bringing the driver side up to match the passenger side.
Sounds like trying to slam to me. Do you have really tall springs or something? I had 8" front springs (pretty standard fare for most Hondas on GC's) and I could have slammed my Integra to the floor if I had gone all the way down on the sleeves.
