H&R spring problem
I guess it started right after the install. I did it at this place called Illusions Motor Sports, should have gone to Sonic Boom. Anyway, I noticed that the passenger side rear had slightly more wheel gap than the rear driver side. The finger measurements seemed to be the same, but visually it sat a bit higher. The guys said at the place said I should give it time to settle. I called three weeks later and their excuse is that afternarket components have these problems and said there was nothing they could do.
Over time, six months, I kept noticing it more. I even tried several level grounds. Everywhere I went, I would always check it. I would seem to sit equal on both sides sometimes but the gap would be more noticeable at other times.
So today I took my car to get it balanced at Tire Kingdom and told the guy there about it. He said he had a similar problem on his civic and said it was the springs. When I asked what he did, he said he got air bags.
But he reffered me to Sonic Boom which is a block behind there place. Has anyone had similar experiences or know what I should do?

I also thought I had this problem. Sometimes the drivers rear end seemed lower . The thing is that I have an uneven driveway and my heavy speaker box woofer combo bolted in the rear corner of the car on the drivers side did't help either. I actually measured both sides on even ground and they were the same, and looked the same too(until I did this I was begging to get worried). Give them a call as 99Maxima5sp said, and see what they tell you. They do come with a warranty.

I have the same optical illusion experience that 1996blackmax mentioned. I guess my problem is that I pay too much attention to trying to make the car look perfect on the drop since I spent more than I planned on having the springs and shocks installed. At least that worry has dissappeared. Thanks for the input guys.

No need to worry, bobjohnson. I found a perfect level business driveway near around the Sonic Boom store today. I got out my tape measurer and spent 20 minutes comparing both sides quanitativley and visually. The result ... it's an even drop on both sides! What a relief.

cut one front coil for an even/front tiny bit lower drop?
