Default Car is lower on one side then the other :(

Welll my car looks nice and low on the front and on the left side of the car the front and rear look really nice but when u look at the right side the rear is higher then the left side .. it is noticeable i have h&R springs and Tockico adj sturts ... i have my shocks set on 5 on both rears ... i belive but they are werid they don;t click sometimes to maybe the rear shocks are on diff settings for stiffness.. do u think that could bet the problem.? i searched on honda tech for this topic but did not find anything // does anyone know what i should do ?

Assuming the suspension is in good shape and properly installed, its possible that the frame is warped.

was your car salvaged?

it has been lowerd for like 1 and a half months i belive and they car is not salvaged i don;t think... i bought it at honda dealership and they di the check point test and wanted a really high price for the car b/c it was in teh best shape for a 94 so i don;t blived anything is wrong with it ... and i douno if it was the installation b/c me and my friend did everything right .. so i don't think that is the problem .. do u think if the shocks are adj. on diff settings it will lower the car or rise it ?

From my experience with springs...i drive the car by my self most of the time...and the springs sag on driver side.what i do...is i switch the springs from the passinger side..to the driver side...and let it settle down again..and switch over agian.....but i got lazy...and it's sittin side way again..(h&r sport with blues)

I've got the h&r springs and koni yellows. My car looked liked that when I first got them. I've had them for three years now. They finally settle after time and they are now even.

when you say " left-side " do you mean the passenger side???? if so...the reason why it sags lower on that side is because of the tranny...it's weight is on the left.....

I had that problem once with my coilovers when I changed tires.

What the problem ended up being is the "cup" where the strut and spring go into the body was cocked at an angle. That caused the spring to sit lower in the strut and made it sit higher. Jacked that corner up, got in there with a rubber mallet and gave it a whack. The cup popped back into place and problem solved.

Well, where the spring would go into the chassis, there is a plastic circle to protect the body from the spring. That was the "cup" that came out at an angle. It would be easily noticable if you look where the car is sticking up.
