I know this is an old thread, but having just installed BC's on my car and getting it corner balanced I also notice the car now sits higher on the driver side. Link

Stock height at least for me the driver side was lower. Has anyone ever put their bone stock IS-F on the scales to see how the balance is from the factory?

LOL! At the A.F. Academy, BC's were what the standard issue black plastic rimmed glasses were called. They made the wearer particularly ugly, thus the name; Birth Control glasses.
