Default 93 Civic Gountrol Problem?

Wasup i have a 93 Civic Coupe well i have had my civic lowered on for a while now.....but i have noticed that there is a werd problem with the ground controls........its mostly on the back....on the rear passenger side my ground control is almost lowered to the bottom.....and then i went to check the drivers side rear one and that one is almost half way down.......now my questions is why is one lower than the other but when you look at the car it looks even on both sides.......is this normal?

it happend to my civic. same car, 93 coupe, and the passenger side sits a little higher than the drivers side. i noticed it with stock suspension, figured it would even out when i installed new springs/struts and it didnt. ive also heard of it happening to other people, so its kinda common. i dont believe its much to worry about. outta curiosity, how is the ride with the agx/gc coilovers? i have agxs now with arospeed springs and im seriously considering gc's.

the first thing i did to my hatch was GCs and KYB's. but i have the Gr2 non adjustables. fine ride, no bounce. good setup fr under 500.
when i look at the passenger side and the drivers side, the passenger side looksa bit higher, uti measured from the top of the fender archs to the floor and i got 22 inches all around so im guessing everything is equal in height?

the reason the spring adjustment is different from corner to corner is that the cars weight is NOT equal from front to back or side to side every corner has a different weight.... thats the main reason for buying coil over suspension so you can tune/balance the cars weight - corner weighting
