Car is tilted
I got some EIbach Pro-Kit lowering springs and KYB AGX shocks and I just put new Energy Suspension front shock bushings in and now I notice that my car is actually tilted way to the left. Its about 1 inch lower on the left side. I dont have any seats in my car except the drivers seat b/c Im putting racing seats in tomorrow. I really doubt that the 1 inch difference is because of the side to side weight difference so what else could it be? Please help while its still light out and I can fix it.

I never knew why, but they do sit like that normally.

I have this problem too... but an inch of difference?!? That's a lot! When the car was new, this was not the case.
I had this tilt problem with the stock suspension, and then replaced it with H&R/KYB combo. I still have this problem, but not as bad. My only explanation for this is that when new, the softest suspension components (the bushings) are new and stiff. But over the years, the imbalance weight of the engine/driver/steering/etc wears out the driver's side bushings more, and so it sags to that side. I hate this.

Well I disassembled both sides and put them back together. I found that cuz I was kinda in a hurry I put one of the shock bushings on the passenger side in upside down. I switched it and now the car looks A LOT better. Its only about 1/8th of an inch. We'll see how it changes over time. And Im glad Im ont the only one too. Thanks.
