Stock Springs Won't Fit On "used to be" lowered car
Well I was swapping stock springs onto one of my family's civics, the cars been lowered since day 1. Well, the arm wont drop down nearly far enough for me to be able to get the bottom bolt in. 210 pounds on the brake/caliper it and it still wont drop down far enough. There is a camber kit on it, could that be keeping it from dropping down?

Take your parking brake off that could have some effect on travel.
If that dosent help. Remove the outer bolt on the lca and then mount the shock on it. Then with your car jack push the lca up into the trailing arm and then bolt it back up.
