Default car rasied it'self WTF part II. . .more details

ight for though's that really would like to help me out, here is more on the ******* sit. that is driving me to kill a ************. . .

ight so this afternoon i jacked the accord up and i took off the wheel. . i had said that by looking at the upper control arm it looked to me as if the control arm had slipped because of the camber kit. . so the upper control arm was resting on the inner fender.. this is DEF not the case . . . i took off the control arm and there is alot of clearence and the camber kit is NOT broke.. blah so now i get more stumped.. so i take off the whole shock assembly and i push the lower control arm all the way up .. and it goes all the way up . ( i did this to see if the camber kit was too tight on the control arm not letting it raise to the top) . . so whatever i take the spring off the shox and i push down on the shox, and it's a bitch to get it to go down . but it goes down w/ some effort then it comes right back up again .. ( i had assumed that maybed the shock would sezie inside or something not letting it go up or down) this is NOT the case. . so whatever the shock goes up and down so there is nothing wrong w/ the shock. .i put the spring back on and put everything back together.. thinking that it should!!! work now.. and same ****! wtf.. how is it possible that he car just dont go any lower!??

i am totally stumped. . one day i have less then a finger gap in the fronts (3.25 drop) then i wake up go to work and look at my car and i got a 4 finger gap on the driver side and a 2 finger gap on the pass side.. WTF..

also if i jump on the car, it's very stiff by the driver side.. DONT MOVE up or down at all!! why!! i checked the shox that's not it.. check the control arm that's not it..what else can it be!? i am gonna try my other springs (neuspeed race) and see if it lowers w/ that and a diff shox. . . you dont think that it could be my SPRING? ah!!!!
