coilovers help!
okay soo let me start off by saying i bought a 2000 civic hatchback with full omni coilover kit
here is the link to the exact same set that i have
http://www.trackspeedracing.com/site...duct/OMNI-FULL
my problem was that when i wanted to lower it more i jacked up the car and seen that one side was lower then the other on the sleeve but when the car was on the ground it was the same height .. soo what i did was took all the coilovers off the car and checked them all
the sleeves spin into the shock soo i thought maybe because one side of the car the sleeves were in the shock more then the other side that woudl be the problem soo i re did all that and i set all coilovers the same before putting them back on the car .. soo after i got done with everything and dropped the car back on the ground ... again one side was higher then the other side
what do you guys think can be the problem???
also the coilovers have a valve stem look a like build in the shock to add oil do you think because one side was set lower that it might need more oil? or maybe the put the front coil on the back and the back on the front when installing??
