I just installed my JDM ITR springs and shocks front and rear and my car is freaking high in the front. i have about a fist and a quarter gap in the front and a little over three fingers in the back.

I have read that it should be about .5 inches lower then stock, but on my car its riding like a baja truck.

Is there something wrong here? i dont think weight is the case because my cousin and i sat on the front and it didnt drop it much. the car handles okay and ride quality is stiff but very good.

Abyone know what can be wrong here, or maybe the itr front forks are shorter?

eg_nezay

Nope , nothing wrong....
It will be higher due to their greater spring rate.

eg_nezay

Atleast you only have a fist gap.
Check mine out with no motor

oh my

EGTeK

hahaha dayam, but i dont think its that funny, because mines is almost like that, but i do have an engine!

**** are you sure theres nothing wrong? im searching through the archives and they have either .5 lower or a little higher then stock.. mines is seriously ridiculous, i mean its way higher then stock in the front. like crazyness!!!!

edit: I really want to keep these itr springs, but i dont think its possible. i just dont get how other people are doing it. im 80% sure my car is fucked up or something.

1 point 6

are you/they using aftermarket shocks?

EGTeK

nope no after market, all straight jdm itr.

eg_nezay

Nope , like I said , thats normal.
I have a buddy that has them on his EG/EH for SCCA autoXing, his car is about a fist gap maybe more.
Also, what year did they come off of? maybe their new and they need to settle.

EGTeK

yeah they look really new, im not totally sure about it though. why my front so much higher then the back?

so the only way i could actually make it look nice is to get some GCs huh?

eg_nezay

On your car or mine?

EGTeK

mine

eg_nezay

hmm...what motor do you have?

EGTeK

maybe somehow there is a way that i messed up in installing? im actually hoping for that well, guess maybe i have to start searching for some coilovers

EGTeK

stock cx 1.5 right now, but it only dropped a little when my cousin and i stood on the engine bay. weird ****.

eg_nezay

My friend has a VX in it, and its pretty level, just higher than stock.

EGTeK

hmm damn, i think i might have a problem then..any ideas? maybe i just somehow messed up along the line somewhere.

thats what my friends looked like.

eg_nezay

Just double check everything, strut sitting right(into that locking groove).
But a fist to 3 fingers is not much.


PS- I spoke to my friend and the front is about 1inch higher than the back.

Ok, stop laughing at my car Dennis/everyone, doesnt look like that any more, LoL....

lets not forget the spring rates are made for a heavier car with a b series motor.

^^^^ agree, not just your car, but your motor too...its much lighter
i would get some h&r's, and keep your shocks, sell your springs
