Let the suspension settle in for about a week or 200km. After that, check again and see if it's still higher.
Which side is higher ? Dont forget, the driver side will sit lower due to your weight.

I think you have to drive the car for a certain amount of time for it to settle. By certain amount of time it could take weeks

It can take up to a month or 1000Km for a car to COMPLETELY settle.

I set my driver fronts 2 or 3 threads above the rest of my coils, and get it aligned at that.
Oh also forgot to mention, I know on my car, the gas tank isn't perfectly centred as well, so when its full or empty could change the way the back sits. There are so many variables, its really hard to get it perfect. Take it to get corner balanced at a race shop if it REALLY bothers you, or just keep messing around.

When I cut the springs it's common practice to cut the passenger one 1/4 coil more than the driver, on my old Volvo.

Bought a bernzomatic solder pencil/micro torch
Soldered some wires to extend my RRM ECU piggyback. Going to finish install tomorrow.
Waiting for AEM cone filter in mail so I can install my RRM SRI. Should be here by tomorrow as well. Fun awaits.

So like I got a mod bug after owning my civic for few months and then did the winter projects. I only spent $500 for this project to do DIY.
Before the modding starts.   
LOOK HOW SAD IT LOOKS WITHOUT A SPOILER. Q_____Q 
(Left like that for a day of heavy rain while I was taking ferry to Nanaimo. Such a bad timing, had leaks in the trunk)
How it is currently sitting right now.   
Thanks to kakucaekz, LSF22, and Paradise240 for using the garage when I can't use my garage... 
AND SPECIAL THANKS TO Entrax, kakucaekz, jtrinh, and Paradise240 for helping me doing my winter mods!

Hard wired my radar detector, changed the oil and filter and washed the car. Then it hailed after I dried it.  Posted via RS Mobile | |

Oil + filter change
Changed the spark plugs and gapped them accordingly
Changed the ignition wires
Would've checked the timing too but can't find anyone with a timing light yet...
