Coil over lower heights don't match!

I installed coil overs on my civic. looks really great but,.... the height of the front coil overs don't match. One coil over is set higher than the other to match top of tire to fender. Both sides measure same from ground to inner fenders
Is this okay? Car goes down road nice a straight, no pull left or right but it does ride like a covered wagon. Can i get away with this or will eat tires, maybe dog track?

Re: Coil over lower heights don't match!

special knock off coilovers. not the major brands that i can afford. this project was done dirt cheap with most parts from the wreckers, used part websites, to the odd new part. the car was hit by a deer and wrote off. but i brought it back to life. guess i get what i pay for. Next on the list O2 sensors,.... here we go another challenge

That was going to be my response. It doesn't seem overwhelmingly noticeable so I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Don’t cheap out on O2 sensors. Hondas like the good ones.
