Default one side lower then the other??

im riding on koni yellows with sprint springs. ride is great but thing is, my rear passenger side sits lower then the rest of the car. only possible thing i can think of that cause this problem is my super huge friend who sat in my car. he's like 300 lbs. is that even possible?? to mess up my springs like that? it was sitting like that before my koni's too. also i have this sound coming from the front driver side springs area. it sounds like metal to metal scratching. it happens when i get in and out of the car. any help would be greatly appriciated. this sound is buggin me to hell

could it be your shocks are shot? When you say metal to metal....is it while you're driving cuz you say when you get in and out of your car......check your brakes...you may need new pads or something...

shocks are new, and it's not the brakes. i know how brakes sounds. what i meant was when i step out of the car na the car raises cuz of my weight is off the car. thats when i hear the metal to metal sound.

the sound is probably the springs coiling.


try having your 300 lbs friend sit on the other side to even the car...

Someone told me that sprint springs were super crap. May it's the spring sagging

hondas are notorious for sitting uneven.

I'm sure they will ride well.....but I can't tell you this as a fact....the Type-R just has so many parts that are great for performance.....and the springs are definitely something that was considered important while engineering the Type-R..

Take your car to a race specialty shop that can do counterweighting. They'll be able to even out the difference in the height.
