EF Coilovers -- Please help guys!
So here we go. I bought this set of Weitec coilovers for my car. They don't make an EF kit only an EG and up kit. The problem I'm having is that the car is higher then with the stock suspension and the coilover is all the way down. I had to change the suspension forks because the EG shocks are thicker then the EF's so I bought 90-93 Accord forks. Anyway...what is causing the car to be so high?
What can I do to fix this problem?

here are a few thoughts i had after reading your post.
1. did you install the threaded sleeve upside down?
2. do you have the front sleeves in the rear and the rear sleeve in the front?
3. how long are the springs that came with the coilovers?

Sleeves??? These are not Ractive coilovers man. They are true racing coilovers.
Http://www.weitec.com look-up Hicon TX coil-overs. There is no sleeve to install.
The spring rates I don't see being much higher then the EF's since the cars son't weigh that much more. The springs do look longer though.

Figured it out finally.
What I did was put the rear springs on the front shock and the front springs on the rear shock. Since the spring rate on the rear is different then the fronts it lowered it a bit. Then I removed the helper springs. I also got EG 92-95 front forks and it solved all my problems. The car is really low now. I'm going to leave it the way it is until it settles and then I'll adjust for best corner weight.
