Default please help! comptech sport springs problem

Hey all you integra owners with comptech sport springs,

I just had my comptech sport springs installed on my 2000 Integra LS. I was happy until 3 weeks later I noticed that the front passenger side sits higher than the front driver side and that there was a noticeable uneven wheel gap between sides.

I understand that the springs have a "spring rate" and are side specific, being that the springs with the higher spring rate should be installed on the driver side.

Is this a result of installing the springs on the wrong side, or is there some other problem?

If you have these springs have you experienced, or are experiencing the same problem? Do the springs really sit this way? Please help me out everyone.. thanks for reading and all your comments!

Did you upgrade you shocks? If you didn't it could also be a problem, just a thought.

Im running on my stock schocks b/c the manufacturer (Comptech) specified that their springs can be installed on stock shocks, butl my car is pretty new and has barely 22K miles on it so I dont think that one of my shocks has gone bad to cause one side to ride lower.

i dont think springs rates are side specific...but rather front / rear specific. but i could be wrong. how much of a difference are you seeing?

comptech makes their springs driver/passenger side specific, go to their web page if you dont believe me www.comptechusa.com and read the installation procedure. wned:
