lowering discrepency
me and a buddy of mine lowered my 150,xxx mile civic CX on h&R sport springs and EX shocks off a car with a third of the miles mine had.
*NOTE: both the shocks and the springs are used
, the springs had maybe 5k on them when i bought them off a friend*
so problem is: the driver side lowered fine, 1 finger wheel gap(ish) BUT the passenger side is about an inch higher, both in the front AND the rear. i do not know why this is, and identical process was used in installing the parts on each side, so i do not know why the passenger side is not lowering correctly. could it be that a spring or shock is damaged or not installed properly? i bought the H&R because i thought the would be greater quality...
the ride is fine but it just looks horrible, pics will come tomorrow if they are needed. thanks guys!

Make sure the springs are seated in the pillow mounts and the bottom of the spring is rotated down as far as it can go.
If the spring is twisted and not bottomed out in the bottom perch it will make you car ride higher in that corner.
