Uneven Drop
Hey there,
I just installed some Tein S-Techs, real ones, on my 98 DX coupe and I have a small problem. The front drop is even but in the rear there is quite a difference in drop. On the driver's side rear I can't even fit my index finger in between the tire and wheel well, but on the passenger side I can fit my index and middle fingers in between the tire and wheel well. I have reinstalled them just to double check everything and it all looks great except I can't figure out why there is such a difference in the rear. I'll try to post some pics a little later when I get back to my apt.
Could it be that I have a bad strut in the back or a bent LCA? I currently have the stock wheels and struts on it just fyi.

could it be the famous "honda lean"? Your drivers side of the car sits lower then the passenger side?

Only thing I could think of would be the shocks. Idk about what you said about the LCA unless you can tell that it is bent for some reason. Since you put on the S-techs you should probably just upgrade your shocks anyways like civicexracer said, except I wouldn't go with the blues because correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those the HP's? If they are then they are just oem replacements. I'd go with the illuminas if you're going to do that.
