suspension question.
hi, i finally after 3 weeks of waiting have my tein ss in my car. it feels fine. i have the integra spring rate and they are not as stiff as some people made them out to be.
i did not install #14 washer in the following image would that make the difference ?

Re: suspension question. (FifthGearOnline)
My buddy put my integra kit on his integra (his were going to be here to late so I gave mine up since they are collecting dust and I will get his). He is a single guy that cares onyl for performance so he doesn't mind a little discomfort......he said that on the stiffest setting the suspension was kicking his ***.
He has it on what most would consider a mild setting now after playing with. We can't push his car down and his **** handles great, he only has his stock sway bar and stock upper tower brace. When he buys a few other suspension pieces his car will handle like its on rails.

Doh!! Time to take it off and put that washer back on. That sucks, I did a similar thing, but my forgotten piece was even more bone headed. I left off the aluminum collar that goes on top of the coilover spring and under the shock "hat"! I noticed the car was slightly lower on one side, looked on the ground, saw the collar "****!". Ok, time to stop babbling.

Re: suspension question. (careawholelot)
If you don't have that washer on it's possible for that nut to go straight through the bumpstop. It can seriously mess up your car. I suggest put it on ASAP... I mean like right now....

i have ra's with the pillowballs and on its softest seting it still kicks my ***, on its stiffest its just straight-up cool. tein recommends a setting so the shocks arnt overworked by the springs.... i would not put it on a low setting with the ss's b/c tein has recommendations for a reason... my ra's are at the recommended setting and although i could have it softer, i dont b/c performance and durabibly is more important. get some gc/konis is you care about ride comfort.
this is why i never recommend teins to people, thay will not suit the purpose of 99% of people and they will just end up ******* them up b/c they want a smother ride.

That washer #9 is the one for the bumpstop. Look at it and it has a taper to it the matches the shock shaft. I would get it back on so you dont damage another washer in there.
