Default what can cause one side of the car to be lower than the other?

lets say when lowering springs are installed, what could have caused this? i have a set of H&R sport installed and it has been several months and onse side i still higher than the other.

i wish i knew the answer to that question...hopefully someone knows...i have the same problem, but i have coilovers...when i adjust the coilovers to be matching, one side of the car sits a lil higher than the other, prob not noticable to others, but I notice it...and that what counts...

Did you happen to fix a flat lately? I have the pro-kit installed and my car was perfectly level on each side until last week when I jacked it up to fix a flat. Now the pass. side is a little lower than the driver side?

I had that same problem until about a week ago. I set each sleeve perfectly even and then went from there, one side was a little higher do I lowered that side a bit and now it is perfect. My front is about an eigth of an inch lower than my rear, which is about what it should be. Keep in mind that when you adjust one corner, the opposite corner will also be affected.

I know a lot of people that are dropped with just springs and the drivers side usually sits lower than the passenger side. Maybe Honda's are just like that? I dunno, we never figured it out. It happened to too many people to just be a coincidence.

It's common. Not much you can do really. Unless you have coil overs.
