One side Higher than the other?
One side Higher than the other?
One side Higher than the other?Last weekend I put Evotion springs into my car. Before I put them in I noticed that the passenger side was higher than the other, but now with the drop it seems more noticeable. The passenger side is about one finger higher front and back. I dont want to change the springs, they ride really nice. Is this normal? Will they settle in? What can I do to fix it? Any advice would be very helpful.

The driver's side is always lower cause of the engine and driver being on that side. It's normal. once the springs settle it will get a little better, but it will always be there. Everyone who uses springs will have that. Apparently Honda OEM springs are different lengths (driver side = longer) so I've heard, to compensate for this. Dunno for sure about that.
Honda OEM springs are equal length passenger to driver side. There is actually a TSB that explains that one side of the car sits lower than the other. There is no fix for it but it has been documented by Honda and is evidently normal. FWIW my car on H&R's is the same height left to right.

You could just say "I had it corner-weighted with coilovers and it looks like that...she's race-ready bwoy!!!"
OK, it'd be a flat-out lie, but if they call you on it, just stomp the pedal, yell "VTEC!!!" and ZOOOOM, off you go.
