The reason I ask is because I installed my KYB's and Suspension tech. springs 2 weeks ago and I swear my car is sitting uneven. The right side appears higher. Anyone know what this could be? Car is a 94 civic ex coupe.

if your car wasn't sitting uneven before, i don't think it's the honda. I think it's the suspension you bought.

 

I had a coilover set up on it and didn't really pay attension to how it was sitting when i set it up. I am going to go back over this and make sure I did it right. I have lowered 4 cars now so I am sure i did everything right.

 

which car got the slam?

 

Could be the Suspension Tech springs. I owned some on my old 1992 Si long ago and while mine sat and rode great, a few other cars I saw with the same springs did not fare as well.

They are great inexpensive springs but they aren't the most consistent IMO.

Good luck.

 

Maybe your springs are settling unevenly from the weight of you sitting in the driver seat. Through some weight on the passenger side and see if it levels out. If you have coilovers though, why dont you just lower the high side down a little more?

 

i don't doubt your work at all. Maybe some how the shocks or springs came with a defect.

 

My white ex. I had it lowered before but didn't like the ride of the coilovers and needed new struts so I bought some prings this time. I also did the rear control arm bushings and si strut bar. I also bought a set of Si wheels and did away with the motegi's i had at the meet.

 

yea thats cool I noticed it when i was swapping out some wheels on a friends car and I happend to look out of the garage and seen my car about bumper level. I am going to look at evrything to make sure.

 

Same here, have those on right now. Was leaning to one side, swapped sides and seems to be OK for now!

 

I might try that only take me about 20-30 min.

 

Almost every EK hatch I've seen sits lower on the driver side. Not sure why this is. Put Teins on mine and it still sits lower on the driver side, even when the spring perches are set precisely the same on each side. I put Buddy Club Racing Spec coilovers (with pillow moutns) on and it still sits lower on the driver side. Not sure why.
