Default low to one side help

hope i am not double posting.... anyways, b16 hatch was high on rear passenger and low on the driver front side. just took out r1 coilovers and blown struts and put new shocks, used goldline springs. and it did go down on the place that was high. but,,,, it is really low on the driver's side. i can fit a finger on all sides except on that side, it is like a finger tucked inside. when i am driving something hits inside and the inside of the tire is starting to waste. i dont know why it is lower on that side. i am overall pleased with it but when i hit a bump or a dip it hits in there. it handles great but that is the problem i ran into. what can i do??? camber kit? urethane bushings??? please help.

Make sure all over your springs are in the proper placement. Check you driverside spring and make sure it matches the others. Look for anything wierd on that side and see if it was ever hit. If it was hit there is your answer. It wont be the tranny wieght.....

the rear springs and front springs have different spring rates. are you sure you put the correct ones in the correct places? its probably a lot of work but try switching the front drivers side and rear passenger springs to see if it levels out.
