I have some off brand coilovers and i was wondering if there was any other way to go lower to make my tires tuck. The longer sleeves are in the back and shorter sleeves are in the front.

Flip the spring perch upside down.

Why do those look like regular lowering springs on sleeves?

I had that feeing until I noticed the bottom of the spring. It looks flat to me, which would be a coilover spring.

Unless I'm confused, or the spring is flipped upside down. Both are possible.

No. You're right. Just wondering why that spring look much taller than it should be. That's what you get when you put "universal" garbage on your car.

I would just get a set of real coilovers.

And it would also be nice if we KNEW WHAT CAR IT WAS!

Yep. That's exactly what you get for buying cheap *** parts.


My buddy bought a civic with ebay coilovers on it. The springs were 10'' tall.

Holy sh*t hahahaha.

But,

They'll ride better, last longer, won't blow struts, etc...

Its sad to see all this gypsy crap on peoples cars.

It's ignorance. Hopefully they'll learn one day.

If you Have an EG you can just throw some EF struts on it. EF strut bodies are much shorter than EG struts. It is pretty much an exact fit and will allow you to be a bit lower. Or just spend an extra $200 - $300 for some Function/Form Type 1s.

hahahahahhahahaha wth is that??
aftermarket ebay springs + stock struts = FAIL!!!!
i wouldn't think about lowering it any further than 1 or 2 inch from stock... they WILL BLOW. its just dangerous, dangerous + car = death. you don't want that. best thing for you since i know you're cheap... get function and form type 1, or progress, or SOMETHING.

Cut them in half... J/k
But seriously why do you want your tires to tuck? I know your ride quality with those spring must already suck and you want to go lower.

Some people care and some people don't. Who cares what the guys running for parts. Personally it's not something I would do but it's not my car so. But either way cut them things if u wanna slam it. It's not like they are expensive springs!

Advice from a genius. I care when people are driving dangerous vehicles on the road next to me.
