Passenger side higher than driver side?
I have an ef sedan and i have this problem with the front right side of my car being higher than the left side. It has energy suspension bushings all around, front and rear suspension technique sway bars, skunk 2 front adjustable camber kits. It was lowered on kyb struts with intrax lowering springs, and i though maybe i put the wrong spring up front, so i switched them and it was still the same. Than i thought it was the strut, so i decided to get tokico blue struts all around and it was the same, what can it be? Also my car doesnt sit low at all. When i had the lowering springs it dropped it about 2in. And i wanted to lower it more so i decied to get some eibach coilovers, and when i put them on i the sleeves were a little bit less than half and it looked the same as the lowering spings, so i put them all them as low as they go and its not low at all, theres no tire tucking or anything, its at about a 2.5in drop. I have some 15in white gt3's on it. please help, thanks.
The coilovers are ADJUSTABLE. They aren't supposed to be set at the same height if your car doesn't sit at the same height. Adjust them until it sits even.
If you research this seems to be a common issue with that platform. And I don't know what your definition of "really high" means so posting a pic should have been the first thing you did.

Sure, you have a car with the engine on the driver's side. The weight isn't even, so the ride height isn't even.
You're also trying to visually compare height by the fenders, which is dumb. Fenders are flimsy (one of your's is dented even).
Put the car on absolutely level and even pavement, verify that all tire have the correct pressure (and are perfectly matched left to right), and measure from the side jack points.
Do exactly what grumblemarc told you to, and adjust them until it is even, if even is what you want (it shouldn't be, the car will handle worse that way, but many people want it). If you can't adjust the higher side lower, you'll need to adjust the lower side higher.
Also, do all of this with the swaybars disconnected. When you're done, reconnect them without any preload on the endlinks (requires adjustable endlinks or getting creative with stock ones).
If that isn't low enough for you, then you purchased the wrong springs, and need to get shorter ones to replace them.
And your car doesn't have struts. It has shocks.

Alright i did adjust it so its all even now and all tires have same pressure. Something i did notice was on the passenger side, its really stiff. I tried pushing down on it and i didnt move at all and some friends tried pushing down on it also, and they said that somethings holding it up.
