do aftermarket shocks sit lower than factory?

[kool92accord]

i just noticed that the front right side of my cb7, is a little bit higher than the rest of my car. what could it be? i think it might because thats the only factory shock my car has, and the rest are tokico. But i dont know, I havent taken it to get an alignment either. So let me know if yall know something guys, thanks

you have 3 tokicos and 1 stock strut? that's very unconventional to do. usually you change out pairs at a time. the tokicos may have a shorter stroke so that could be why the height is different. do you have lowering springs?

JUst wait until you get all four parts of suspension bro its worth the wait. Dont be a fool and install it now thats like adding insult to injury. Just imagine your trying to take a corner you hit a bump all the the struts go oh look we have one thats out of balance lets hop away as a team and leave his ass behind. The strut thats the the most problematic will lead to your demise.

yeah i got tein lowering springs. i had all four tokico shocks but when i ordered the tokico shocks and spring pakage, they send me the front lowering springs kinda high. they were like stock, so i took it to a performance shop and they told me that the were for a hevier motor and they told me they could burn the springs. so what hapened is when they did that, they fuck one of the shocks up and replaced it with a factory shock, which pissed me off cause they didnt burn a stock one. so yeah thats why I only have one factory shock and the rest tokico. but i guess imma go get a tokico shock then so it could sit straight

i don't understand why anyone would want to put a flame to any part of the suspension...especially a shock...pressurized nitrogen anyone? fucking up the oil by heating it anyone? c'mon man...i don't know how your mechanics still stay in business

anyways, the only way a shock will sit lower is if the body is shorter...you can just measure them and find out

i mma just change da shock and just find out. by the way, the mechanic is the owner of GS motorsports(gs-motorsports.com), i went to him cause he has a good reputation, but that didnt work with. in my opion, hes pricey like mofo, charged me $200 just to check it. since i wanted right i didnt care how much it was, but didnt work that way
