My Messed-Up Suspension
I still do not know what I did wrong when putting everything on but I'm hopefully getting it fixed REAL soon. Any ideas, let me know!

Brand new shocks, KYB AGX's. It was like that from the time i put em on. Its the same on both sides for both front and rear.
It's still possible, don't think since it's new it should be fine, there are other factors that could've made this problem. Plus, your left front side is sagging so it's gotta be a blown shock.
Try this, get on the corner of that side and push it down. If it bounces more than 2-3 times, most likely your shock is blown.

Weird. I've forgotten, but was it you who put the springs on the other way and everyone said that they were backwards? If so, and you've already switched them, I'm willing to bet you have the wrong springs. [EDIT]Either that or they're on backwards.[/EDIT] What kind are they again? And from where did you buy them?
EDIT #2: Ok, I see that you got H&R Sports... Are you sure you got them for the right year Civic?

I was discussing this with E30dood and we're both wondering, is the gap even side to side (left side and right side)?
EDIT #3: I saw your other post and it does look like your car is even side to side.
I really think that your springs are either backwards or you just straight up have the wrong springs.

I've done this before....
the answer should be....
your front springs are on the rear, and your rear springs are on the front....
the front springs need to handle more weight because of the engine, while the rear don't need to handle as much... which explains why your front is super dumped (rear springs being compressed more than normal because of the weight of the motor) and the rear is super high (front springs not being compressed enough without the weight of the motor).....
hope this helps....
