ok, so ive had my tein s-tech springs on my crx for about a month now. ever since the install, the rear passenger side has been a tad higher than the rest of the car. ive taken apart and put the suspension back together at least 3 times, made sure the spring was seated correctly, made sure the top nut is as tight as can be, yet i still cannot figure this out. i dont know whats going on.



that is the rear driver side, and as you can see, i can barley fit 3 fingers in there (more like 2 and a half)



and theres the passenger rear side, and i can comfortably fit 4 fingers, with still a millimeter of play on eitherside.

i cant figure out whats going on, ive taken the cover for the bumpstop off so that the pillow is only sitting on the little plate, and i still dont know whats going on. HELP!

 

Sure this is a dumb question.. but does it do this no matter where (or how) you park the car?

 

it does it no matter what. it just sits that high, like it doesnt lower down when im driving or anything, it just rides that high. after fiddling with it each time i take it for a drive around the block and doing some gymkhana in a parking lot down the street to work the spring alittle bit. doesnt help .

 

hmmm that is pretty strange.... its looking like you may have just gotten a bad spring... only other thing i can think of is if maybe you have some of the stock suspension bushings binding up or something but that usually doesnt happen..... try switching the rear spings and see if it tranfers with the spring to the drivers rear side... if so you have a spring problem if not there is something wrong with another part of the cars suspension

 

you know, amazingly enough, today while i was instlling my front lower tie bar, i decided to mess with the strut again. i noticed a few things i put together wrong yesterday when i was fussing with it, so i fixed that...just so i had nothing else to worry about, and all of a sudden the spring dropped down to the height it should be at. problem solved and i dont even know how i fixed it.

 

alright man haha problem solved then good job hehe

 

Hey guys ive found that measuraing fender gaps in consitant best place to messure is the jacking points if they are in good cond.

Take a Level and find a Cement parking lot say in a parking lot somewere thats perfect level in a bike enough square area for ur car and then measure the fender to tire gaps then the ground to jack points.
