Default Suspension Help Please!!!

The problem is that the pass side sits a little over 1/2 inch lower than the driver side. The car has tokico blues with tokico springs. I am wanting to get some more aggresive springs but want to know if the shocks could be the reason it sits lower on one side first.

shocks be the problem? = No
It sounds like the springs may be sagging, The vehicle's weight sits on the spring, not the shock.

I've seen this happen on even the more expensive brand name springs.

Write or call the company you bought the setup from and see if they can help you out.

I had the same problem with a set of Neuspeed Race Springs on my '00 Si .
They were 2 years old.... And I bought them from a member on here Used.
I called Neuspeed and they sent me one new rear Race Spring for free.
They also had me send the old spring back to them so they could research why the material lost stiffness.

Try it, what do you have to loose.

Thanks for your help. I was wanting to lower it even more, think its at 1.5-1.7 lower than stock now, wanting 2.5-3 so if the shocks arent the reason then i'm glad.
