Default Unven suspension height tC

Hi,
I don't know if you guys already talked about this

I put the tech ss spring in after driving the tC for 1k mile 2 yrs back
AFTER a while of driving 6mo-1yr, driver side is lower than passenger side
I don't think this happened with my integra
Does this happen to you guys

Now I threw out the aftermarket, and the tC suspension is completely back to STOCK
everything works fine as far as driving conditions go, but the driver side (3 fingers gap) still lower than the passenger's side(4 fingers gap).

The question is what is wrong?
The only solution I can think of is coilover
but I'd rather know what is going, and something else beside struts/springs that needs to be replaced

TIA

Pretty common problem, especially when you are the only person in the car for most of its travel.

I got a ricer tip for you... put weight in the passenger side till the springs settle correctly. I didnt do it right away like I shouldve but for a few thousand miles I had a full 5 gallon water jug in my back seat on the floor, lol. Extra 40lbs all the time makes a difference.

Just took it out last week actually. Now all four wheels have within 1/8th gap when im sitting inside.
