I got these cheap a couple of years ago.
MORAL of the story, you get what u pay for.I was an idiot to think thses would last longer than 2 yrs.
I will be replacing these ASAP with a set of H&R springs.

found your problem right there....

The sleeve looks like it's too big for the shock. All that weight on the stock perch finally made it give.

that's not suprising at all.

-the sleeve isn't sitting squarely
-the sleeve is aluminum on a steel perch

It tends to happen to cheap aluminum coilover sleeves (mushrooming/cracking at the bottom). Somebody posted a trick that you can do, when you first put them on when they are new, put a large metal hose clamp around the very bottom of the sleeve, which will add strength and keep it from mushrooming out like that.

And don't get H&R Sport springs, they are too soft and lowered my car 3". https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emhammer.gif

I'm saving for custom rate Ground Controls, I would suggest the same for you.

Ive seen a set of skunk2's do that and it was becuase the sleeve was on upside down

yikes...that doesnt look too good....

but yeah....id go for some teins....

or if you jus want lowering springs and not spend alot of money on coil overs get kyb agx struts coupled with neuspeed springs...but im sure you already know about that kind of stuff

nice pics http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif . i just picked up a 90 integra brake setup for my crx and it came with some maxspeed coilovers , one of them had a 2 inch crack on the sleeve https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emhammer.gif

Re: I was gonna adjust the coils and I see this... (Tweakmeister)
 

ive seen that happen on a few Weapon R's, , the sleeves are shitty and just mushroom after a while .

it still boggles my mind as to why they lowered you so much. i measured mine and my friend's (99 ls) drops with sports and we were both lowered between 1.8" and 2". his only looked lower than mine because he had 195/50/15 while i was on stock 195/55/15

my coil overs are made by cosmo racing. havent had any problems with them yet. i know theyre not the best brand, but i couldnt pass up the price i found for a set of em. the weird thing with em is that they have 2 springs on each coil over; theres a thinner spring above thats almost completely compressed so that when you get a little air your springs dont lose contact and slam back up. it seemed like a smart thing to me and they handle just as good as almost any other coilover. ive only got my car lowered 1", since i live in ohio where theres shit all over the roads.

Re: I was gonna adjust the coils and I see this... (hites_05)
 

a dual spring design can be very effective.

Re: I was gonna adjust the coils and I see this... (Tweakmeister)
 

A helper spring. I think the Tein SS has a helper spring.
