has this prob since install several month ago. (driver side - rhd u.k ek4) sits lower than passenger side.

fitted new set of koni sport shocks (yellow) and tanabe gf210 springs. perches are all correct so i put it down to the springs. is each spring for specific wheel or this just common problem

ha. thats kinda funny. we all have the same "problem" here. the "driver" side, which is the left side for us is almost always lower than the other side. just the weight of the driver.

its differnce of weight and age of bushings. your car was probably just as unequal before you put your springs on, you just didnt notice it as much because the gap was larger with stock springs and you dont notice the difference as much.

the other thing is that when you lower your car, the bushings are over stressed if you didnt reset them. OEM bushings are solid rubber and are set to rest at one ride height. so the extra stress probably killed your bushings even more.

this issue really needs to be addressed in a sticky. it seems to be asked every week by some newbie. the only reason why i bothered to reply to the same question this time was because your car is RHD, and exhibiting the same thing.

one thing you can try is playing with the perches on the koni shocks to help equal out your ride heights if its bothering you that much.

thanks for reply. just that ive done fair bit to improve handling and car is still edgy.

im lookin to go to a motorsport place and get full geometry setup done and find out whats
wrong/needs replacing but they aint cheap here so doubt it will be for a while

ive had some bushes changed (main front lower arm, rear trailing arm, front sway bar with energy suspension) but guess i may have to do more of the front

If you find out what the problem is let us know. I have that problem with my 99 hb. I fixed it by leveling it out with coilovers, but don't like the fact that I can't go that low this way.
