Thats odd. Can you measure both front and rear wheels to see what the difference is on yours? You also have to measure it from the center of the wheel to the fender to get a good reading since if you take it from the ground, the tire pressure may be off a tad. Or you can just measure the gap between the top of the tire to the fender. It may just be a common thing with these cars and they may be off a tad. I'm still going to put my car on a alignment rack and loosen everything and the retighten to see if some of the bushings are bound.

i just installed my eibach springs on my 01 and had the same issue, but my passanger side was higher. I was thinking of loosening the control arms and tigten when it was on the ground. Any follow ups?

I have the same problem. My drivers side sits lower than my passenger side on the back wheel. I think my car was rear ended before I owned it and it could be due to this

I've measured out 3 s2k's and even the stock suspension the drivers side sits a tad bit lower. In fact it's the case with the fit too. So I figured all Honda's were like this.

hey guys i got my front to sit even. My driver side was lower then my passanger side. With the car on the ground i was able to get to the bolts that hold the upper control arm, loosened the both of them a bit. Drove the car on my drive way and slammed the brakes(not going over 5mph). Reapeted it a few times so the suspension settled retightend the bolts and measured them and checked gaps from fender to tire and they are even. you can try that with the rear as well but it might need to be up on a jack.

your car is heavier on different corners. also, there will be variations in the body. also, there will be variations in alignment between the sides, as well as placement of the subframe. i wouldn't worry about it.

if you have coilovers and corner balance the car, the variation might even be larger.
