Default 01 coupe lowered

I installed stagg lowering spring strut assembly on my civic about 5 days ago, now the car sits like an 'X'

the right front and left rear are low, the left front, and rear right are approx stock height...

Any suggestions on why this is or how i can fix it?

regards

Sounds like you inverted the springs, look at the instructions you might need to disassemble all of them and start again.

Interesting. I'm not sure what you mean by that. The springs were installed all the same way, with the stamped company writing being legible. the top caps seated. Car hasn't been driven since install. Curious what you and others opinions are on driving the car to "settle" the springs or if that even has any real value

Maybe you need a longer ball joint to re-horizontalize (that's a word now) the control arms. When I lowered my EP3, I got some Buddy Club ball joints to solve the issue of ruined LCA geometry when you lower a car with struts.

Are you referring to roll center adjusting ball joints?
