Default Height difference between driver and passenger side.

My driver side is about 1/2 inch lower than passenger side both front and rear. It is 95 EX coupe(EG) if it's matter. It was like this with stock suspension and same thing with KYB AGX/H&R SPORT combo setup. Why and what could be bad? I didn't see any bushings/suspension parts damaged when I installed shocks/springs. Can I ignore it?
Thanks.

Yes, normal. It's due to the weight distribution of the car; if you want it level, you have to use coilovers.

So driver side is heavier than passenger side? Not balanced? hmm...I didn't know that. Thanks for your info.

You might have noticed that the newest small Hondas are configured so that the heaviest part of the motor/tranny unit is on the other side of the car.
