you arent the only one. i have h-techs and i have the same prob. ill assume it is intended to be higher to counter a full gas tank.

do the springmount mod and cut a little extra on that right side. make sure to get a rear camber kit if you dont already.

even with the H-techs? strange.but are the springs labeled Left n Right?
i was thinking the same thing about the full-gas tank idea..i did that too..and it still didnt even out.LOL

im tempted to do the springmount mod..

rear camber kit - my buddy is selling his Kinetix full front rear for dirt..i might have to cop the rears for now..LOL.

thanks, glad im not the only one

Are you sure that they are clocked correctly in the spring bucket?

Try just jacking up the car on stands and rotating the spring clockwise until it hits the stop in the spring bucket.

Hey bro! hows it been? ive been waiting on the finished pic of the front lip. did everything workout for u?

after i put the 20s on there, she hates driving it..so we rarely take it out, i always use her car (more gas economical civic) but i took the car to the bay area n back...the G Stechs ride pretty smooth, just a tad bit stiffer..but still a stock feel, maybe its just me, im just glad its not lumpy or bouncy...

but it is kinda rough with the 20s n the drop..but it doesnt bother me that much. plus i need new rubber soon, so i hope that helps.

ur stechs even in the rear?

i might do the rear mount mod, just to lower it a tad bit more.the front slopes down. gonna get the fenders rolled and get spacers then im good for a while.LOL but def. get that rear camber kit atleast...things that the GF/Wifey doesnt notice wont hurt her.LOL..

GREENGOBLIN - ill try that method...maybe 2mrow at work.

yea it's nice, but my ride is a little rough (i also have 20s and stechs) but mine are even all round and the camber kit is a pretty much must, although it's a PITA to install and fenders rolled are necessary too =D

G35Driver user "jlin615" has G S-Techs and had the same problem as you, too. He fixed the unevenness by buying a lot of water from Costco and weighing down the (right?) side of the car that was higher. He placed the water in the passenger side back seat, and then moved it later to the trunk.
