Default Car is crooked, need help

Hi Everyone, longtime lurker, first time doing a post.

I bought an extremely clean 06 RSX turbo last year. Car has a clean title, never had an accident. I even had a guy from a bodyshop to come and confirm the car is straight. I started off my changing a few things here and there. When I bought coilovers, I saw that the car was sitting lower on the driver’s side. I then bought TE37s and realised that yeap, car is lower on driver side. Here’s what I did to try and fix it:
  • change the suspension adjustments (height, stiffness, damper, spring load)
  • change the coil over from the passenger side to the driver’s side
  • put new lower control arm and frame brace
  • remove and replace the swaybar
  • put the original suspension

Every single time, the car was about 1 inch lower on the driver side. The coilover is maxed out in height on the driver side and almost not adjusted on the passenger side.
Im getting desperate lol, have you ever had that issue? How did you fixed it?

Thanks!

Cars generally sag over time.

Lots of threads of ppl discovering the same thing.

Just adjust your coilovers.
