Default Suspension Question/Problem

i have ground controls with AGX's and i've set is so the ground controls perches are sitting evenly. I've noticed one side is lower than the other by about 1.5 in. is this normal or a bad schock?

So adjust it out with the coilovers. If you're really concerned, shell out a couple hundred bucks for a corner balance/alignment.

Most Hondas sit higher on the passenger side because all the weight of the motor/driver/etc is on the driver's side. Especially with swaps (other than the K swap, obviously.)

That's normal. All Civic's I've ever seen do this. Just adjust the coils up on that side or get it corner balanced as suggested already.

Thread Jack:

Wouldn't having a car corner balanced cause uneven wheel gap just the same?
