rear struts ( frame part )

i cant seem to find the answer anywhere online.
so here it goes,

i was installing the rear strut bar yesterday afternoon and noticed that the frame part of the car is different.
the right side of the frame is a bit higher 2/3's higher. i have 3rd gen, i wasnt sure if i should install the bar, thinking that it might mess up the chassis.

does anyone know what im talking about? are all 3rd gens the same?

thanks.

im charging the cameras battery right now, but if you take the panel out from inside the trunk to install the strut bar the height of the frame on the right is a bit higher than the left side of the frame. its the best way i can explain it without the picture.

there shouldnt be a difference unless you did some other suspension work

this is the right


this is the left




is it me or what? cause look at the frame dude, the right is a little bit higher than the left, the left is deeper
and i could tell ffrom the tires as well.

or did i just buy an integ with a messed up frame?

Oh u mean how the tower bulges up on one side and not the other...

I think that is fine, almost looks like one was replaced at one time..

u can put the bar on... no problem,, it wont change the suspension

thats how it is stock. thats why both plstics for the car arent semetrical aslong as the bar sits flat its cool
