Car leans

Hey guys


I just installed my neuspeed sports springs and SPC camber kit this past weekend and I love everything about them! I swear, before, when it was all stock going over the bumps in my apt. parking lot or really any speed bumps was really crappy and harsh. I took it to Honda a few times to have it looked at and they said nothing was wrong - i knew something wasn't right, but i didn't know what. Well - I still don't know what WAS wrong - but now that I have the neuspeed springs in there the car feels SOO much better.

Im riding on 18's and a 35 series tire and my car feels way better now that its dropped, isn't that strange? anyways...

the only problem I have is that my rear driver side is slightly lower than the rear passenger side.

the passenger side is about a 1 finger gap with a good amount of wiggle room - the driver side is a very tight 1 finger gap.

whats causing this and how can I fix it?

My 1st guess would be worn or Bown shocks.. other wise there could just be an un-even amount of weight over one corner. (Got subs?)

yeah - one sub - smack dab in the middle (tire well)

you say shocks...my front driver side *bump stop* is all torn to hell (i THINK its a bump stop - its the big, hard-rubber piece that goes over the front shot.) Might this be causing it?

BTW - 1000 Posts!!! yeah!

Well a torn up bumpstop wont make the car lean over, but it would lead me to believe that the shock may be damaged/weak/blown....
