I just got done with my first drop..but i am having problems can anyone help
well everything went nicely till i drove it...this might be a pretty dumb question but i am new to this whole aftermarket world...well anyways the ride is really rough and i hear a clanking/ banging against soemthing...but i only hear it in the rear and front righthand side.......on top of that when looking at my rear springs the coils look so close together.....if anyone knows what i did wrong or have pictures of there set up can u please post them...thanks..ohh and i drive a 5th gen accord with the pro-kit and tokico blues...
double check to make sure the springs seated properly. did you transfer the rubber pad from the OEM springs over to the eibach's? the rubber pads deaden noise that occurs when the spring compresses and contacts the upper seat. go over each step of the installation process and make sure everything was tightened down properly.
how much lower did you go? on my H&R race set with tokico blues, there is a noticeable gap when the car is jacked up on the rear springs becauss the springs are shorter than the space on the shock. when i lower my car from any jack, i have to drop the jack just enough so the shock starts to compress, and align the spring to make sure its sitting on the seat and in the top of the shock before lowering the car all the way down.
he has the pro-kit, which is a 1.2" drop. i've installed the pro-kit on other accords before, and that wasn't an issue. but i didn't rule the possibility out, which is part of the reason why i said to "double check to make sure the springs are seated properly"
thanks guys for the quick reply..............and i just got done checking it out everything is seated properly but when i take the car off of the stands and let it back down the rear coils still don't have any space.....it looks like all the coils are sitting on each other....and my ride feels really bad.
