I just went out to measure how much I want to drop the civic. Well when i measured the passenger side it was a 1/4 inch higher in both front and back than the drivers side. Why would this be... no speakers, no junk in the car... 1/4 tank of gas if that even matters. I just dont get why this would be. So my question is once I drop it about 1.5 inches do you think its still going to be unlevel? Probably going with the tokic hp and H&R sport springs.

it may be becuase most of the time a car's weight isnt perfectly distributed, its nothing to worry about.

It's normal and you really can't tell a 1/4 of inch. If you really need it to be completely even get full coilovers and have a fun time adjusting them.

It is from the distrubtion of the engine and because most of the time there is only 1 person in the car...you.

Yep, this is exactly the problem. If you open your hood and look at the engine, you'll see that most of the bulk of the engine is sitting on the driver's side. (This is especially noticeable if you have installed an aftermarket intake and removed all the useless black plastic factory intake boxes). When you add your own weight to the equation (which also happens to be on the same side of the car) you can see why the driver's side will always be sitting a little lower. The only way to even things out is to install adjustable coilovers, (which I eventually did because of my perfectionist tendencies!), and keep adjusting them until you get it all even. Good luck!

Thanks for your responses. I guess I will just have to live with it.
