    theoretically, one side of the car is going to be heavier than the other so it could be disproportionate. of course if ur looking at it with a fat ass passenger in the car that could affect it as well. lol

    theoretically, yes, but no. the weight difference wouldnt be enough to show where he could see it, if a passenger, then yes, but i dont forsee even him being that stupid.

    shocks dont set ride hight, the springs do that. the shocks only stop spring oscillation

    and although one side is going to be heavier than the other, the manufacturer takes that into account and makes one side stiffer than the other to compensate

    my prelude has less that a finger wheelgap on the left and a little over a finger on the right. not sure why either.

    yea, if u r the only one that rides in the car every day, aftermarket shocks/springs tend to do that, they will tilt on the driverside.
