For the front finger gap on eibach prokit, one side is 1.25 inch, the other is 1.75 inch. why?

driver side is lower b/c of the engine

jw, how come my driver side is higher than the passenger side? i've measured this a couple of times. (i dont have aftermarket struts or springs btw)

CivicRocker02

either your really fat or... lol j/k :-P i dont know why

**** i have the same thing too but i deny the fact by telling myself i am just crazy or the ground isn't flat.

i have about half to a finger height difference, driver's side being lower.

fuzzylogic426

iTrader: (7)

hehe, if my driver side is higher, then that means im lighter than air.

chrisleecool

iTrader: (18)

^^^lol

it is normal that driver side is lower for our vic.
engine+driver=more stress on the (driver side) struts

are you parked on an incline? i've noticed that too, but if i park on a perfectly flat surface theres not much difference.

Changu-San

iTrader: (1)

oh yeah, thanks gearbox for measuring your gaps for me. ill be sure to rep u.

fuzzylogic426

iTrader: (7)

hey changu-san, are you asking me? well, i measure the height when im parked in my garage. and, my garage is probably perfectly flat (i used one of those measures with that bubble inside.lol). i dunno, all i can say is everytime i measure the height, my driver side is a bit higher. maybe my passengers are too fat? jp, im just trying to blame others. or maybe i just lost so much weight that my struts werent used to it, and they popped back up, but in the process they went too high? sorry, studying for midterms has fried my brain

yea. just to clear it up, i was parked on flat ground, and i was not sitting in the car when i measured it duh.

Changu-San

maybe it just needs time to settle

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

it has been settling since january. also it seems like every day its at a different height. sometimes i look and the rear is sagging, other times its pretty close to the front.

It is normal. The engine and driver put more stress on that side and therefore it is lower. To fix it you need coils .

yea drive is lower then passenger, i have my b&g set to the same all around and its obvious to me at least cuz im **** like that and i can tell its higher but to ohters they dont really notice. its like a half inch more

manthatguysfast

iTrader: (3)

holy **** i thought i was the only one!! lol. i just kept telling myself, like some1 said, that it was either the uneven ground or an optical illusion. so drivers side being heavier is normal! im relieved a bit!

iTrader: (2)

look down

goodtimes

iTrader: (2)

dam me to man its like im so **** about it i allso have B&Gs the front is ok but when i get to the back it all over the place like the RR is one finger gap and LR is no finger gap it pisses me off so when i get my system back im going to level it to one finger gap in the back

- do you guys think the next time i adjust my coils i should have a full tank of gas.
or will that mater?

-do i need stiffer back springs to compinsate for my system or what.

help me please.

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

well i got a single amp, no spare, and 3-6 gallons gas usually. yes it does help. i'm sure with subs, full tank (about 60-80lbs) and spare I'd be tucking.

slicksivik

iTrader: (9)

yea i notice when i get a full tank of gas and pull out the lot, i can hear it on the fender.

goodtimes

iTrader: (2)

so do any of the suspension god's have any good way to adjust coilovers to be the same hight all the way around?????

EM2jdm

yeah my car is like that all the time and i just ignore it but i do have this annoying clicking sound when i downshift and when the car jolts

booba5185

(happy gilmore moment) thats because u only have 1 shoe on

Holy smokes.. I thought I was the only one. My gf has a 03 Civic EX Coupe (stock suspension) and I notice this problem few weeks ago in my garage. It is like 0.5-1 inche difference and I think it's pretty ridiculous (driver side lower). Her alignment is fine and same the the tire's pressure...

You guys said that is normal?

iTrader: (2)

this sucks my cars like this too, i thought i was trippin cuz i took it to the dealer and they were like.. it's perfectly straight, and when i got back home and put my car in the garage and measured, the drivers side was lower than the passenger side, and even now with H&R springs, the driver side is still lower than the passenger side -_-;; i think i should just leave like 150lbs of weights in the passenger side until it evens out or something

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

that doesn't work lol. i had a full load in the trunk (enough to slam the rear) for about a week driving cross country. It went back up once we took everything out. thats what springs do.

xkimsungminx

iTrader: (2)

no but the thing is... it was crooked before i put the H&R's on, and it still is i dont understand why -_-;;

robbclark1

Just leave it alone!!! It is fine with the driver's side lower!!! Springs aren't going to change the weight distribution. The car is fine leaning, they all lean. Every car, not just the civic, leans...it depends on where the engine sits and where the gas tank is. End of story.

ragingSPAM

iTrader: (8)

the driver side will be lower cuz of weigt like robbclark said...also right turns tend to have more speed than left turns so when u turn right even more of the cars weight is pushing the spring down
