Okay, this is unacceptable. I have Koni Yellows and Eibach Pro-Kit on my Integra sedan. There is a three-finger gap up front and a one-finger gap in the rear. When I fill up with gas the rear gets low (one finger gap = 1/2 tank left).

I want my car to have this kind of drop: I interpret this as a two-finger gap and that is what I want.


What can I do? Koni perch adjustment? Progressively wound springs like H & R Sports?

Let me know,
Ben

coilovers

 

Simple, since you have Konis then you can adjust the height by the spring perch. I know this is a major pain as you have to remove the whole shock/spring assembly, but you can lower the front and/or higher the rear in .5" adjustments right?

Back when I had Neuspeed Konis and Eibach Sportlines, I had the front dropped one slot and stock height in the back for a nice stance.

 

I had the same problem on my99 teg.. my rear looked lower than the front. Eibach's in my opinion are called sag box.. get coilovers. or you can buy H&R springs.

 

The stock ride height is higher in the front than the rear

so when you buy springs that are even 1.3front 1.3rear yes there is still a difference in height ...

my eibachs have settle over time ... ive made my tokicoz softer .. and i have 17z and lower front bumper and side skirts ... and you can not see the difference in drop anymore ... and the springs ride beautiful ..

keep the pro springs

if you absolutely have to change them ... i think neuspeed is 2.0front 1.75rear

im sure youll sell your pro springs instantly on here ... the Proz and Sportlines are pretty much the springs of choice

 

I know what you mean, I have the prokit's too.
The arc in the front wheel well is bigger so that
also gives an uneven look...

If I were you, I'd lower the front perch and see
how it looks. If it corrects the problem, or gives
you a look your more satisfied with, your not out
any money. (Assuming you do the work yourself)

 

GOD DAMN IT! PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT SIZE FINGERS!!!! USE A GOD DAMN PROPER MEASUREMENT!! DAMN RICE TALK!!!!

 

cap locks is your friend

 

Actually i was holding shift the whole time..

 

Most Hondas I've seen with Eibach springs look lower in the rear than the front. And they aren't that stiff if you really drive your car hard. For springs, I prefer Progress, or get some Skunk 2 coilovers and a set of Tokico shocks too. Progress Springs give a nice looking drop on 3rd gen Integras. I had a set on my 95 Integra SE and on my 93 del Sol Si.

 

exactly why people should get coilovers.

 

you choose the wrong springs for what you wanted. Guess you should've looked into it before you bought em.

 

I swear my car must be wierd or something... stock it was higher in back than in front, and after lowering it was still higher in back than in front (noticeably different). I had to lower my rear spring perch and keep the front one at stock height to get the car even. This is with H&R Sport springs BTW.

gotta love the white TEGGIES w/ the comptech lips

 

What will address the issue of the sagging of the rear end when I fill up the gas tank? Progressively wound springs? Higher spring rates? Nothing? Why didn't the stock springs and shocks do this - or did I just not notice it?

There is nothing wrong with the drop on your car. A little research before you bought them would have prevented this whole post. The wheel wells are cut large up front the rear, giving the appearance that the drop is lower in the rear, when in reality its the same at both ends.

Even if you run eibach sportlines, the rear will still be lower than the front for the same exact reason.

There is no need to bash eibach's products. The spring and shock setup you are running is a good one. If you wanted a "slammed" look, then you definitely went the wrong route. But, if you want to auto-x the car then you have a very low cost and effective setup.

 

JuJu, I did do research on this purchase and do my due diligence on all my purchases. I was aware of the drop level of this setup and the "Eibach Uneven Drop Syndrome" before my purchase. I am NOT interested in a slammed look: that is the reason I purchased the Eibach Pro-Kit and not some other, more aggressively dropped springs. My concern here is that I am getting that "slammed" look in the rear - the top of fenderwell is even with the top of wheel sometimes and I don't like that. I just want moderation here; a little higher in back a little lower in front.
