whenever you lift up say the right rear to put on the spring, the left will compress more. when you let the right side down, it will stay higher than the left for a while.

the springs are brand new right? theyre made to withstand alot of pressure, they just gotta get used to all the pressure for a while before they settle and stay evenly.

Just had my new springs and struts on. Had them in for a month now. Did a finger test. Front was just fine. Even. Rear driver side had a 1.5 finger gap. Pass side had a 3 finger gap. had them swap out the two side to see if the springs or struts were bad. Same problem. Ask if the car was ever wrecked. Front drivers side got a little damage from a freak wreck. With the uni-body construstion, something small can tweak the frame. Told me to take it to a frame shop, get it measured. Should be able to get a bry bar and pull the frame back staight. It worked for me.

No frame. Uni-body construstion. Lazer guided frame shop should get you close. Will take a little time. Suspension mounts straight to the body panels. My civic does not have a rigid frame to mount on.

Is the spring seated correctly on the shocks? Sometimes if you go over a big bump or pothole, it might shift the way the spring is seated. Jack it up and check it real quick.
