Normal for H-Sports of Not?

A couple months back I got a deal on a used set of H-Sport springs. After a couple months of looking and procrastinating I finally went out and measured the side to side height. The drivers side sits lower than the passenger side, the difference from side to side is listed below and I wanted your opinions on whether this was normal for these springs or not.

Front drivers side is 3/8" lower than front passenger side.

Back drivers side is 1/4" lower than back passenger side.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

JBing

When I measured my car several months ago the height was pretty even, within 2mm.

With progressive rate springs it is not unusual to have differences in
height..it's just corner weight.

How are you measuring the height? Measure from bottom of fender lip to top of wheel and see what you get. Of course, be on level ground.
