Default JIC SF-1 Coilovers.....Install.......??....92-95 civic.....

Everything is done installed and looks great.........But what height is allowed??

Does anyone have them?

We went 3/4 of the way down on the thread and the front had no give and felt like it was riding on the bumpstop.............I put it back up to about half way or a little more..........

But on the front you still cannot see the rod once the car is lowered off the rack.....Is this normal?...Even at the halfway mark.

The rear is fine.

Please give me any info.....JIC us Distributor is closed on the weekend and the Instructions are in Japanese.....

Thanks

did the jic's come with their own bumpstops or did you have to use the stock ones?

They came with there own. It came with everything pre-assembled to the pillow top mount....But I really wish I could have instructions....For preloading....and so on.

Did you have to use an impact or air gun and hit the center bolt for the pillowball mount once you were done?

Also how many threads up are you in the front?....I'm at 17....I was at 10 and no give at all........I hope I didn't F them up in the couple of trips I took.
