i just installed koni sp3s and neuspeed race and as the titles states the front is higher than the rear.. i started on the rear... and then did the front .. im thinking maybe it has to settle it in.. i have drove 15-20 miles on it.. j/w is this normal or not.. also i noticed the passenger side spring is off the spring seat(not sure what its called) about 1/4-1/2 inch, also the bolt thats on the shock like the shock shock under the hood.. the passenger side threaded up an inch higher than the driver side .. help me out thanks also i have it set on full soft on all 4

 

i mean threaded down not threaded up

 

Did you install the springs backwards? Call Neuspeed and see what goes in front and what goes in the rear.

 

Can you ake some digi pics and post them? Something is wrong here where the springs are on the wrong end (more common than you'd think) or if the order or things got out of whack when you installed it. The sooner the better and I'd suggest driving it as little as possible. There could be several causes and some could cause damage.

 

the springs were clearly marked like the front and rear.. so thats right i know.. i dont think they could be upside down.. cause of how its seated.. i searched on here and foundone guy said he heard about it on neuspeed race.. and i heard cause the sping rates are much higher in the front.. it might take it some time to settle in.. but if it doesnt settle in i shall get some coilovers.. prolly gc .. i will post pics in a day or 2..

 

to give the best detail of this.. the rear is almost tucking where the front has a 2 finger gap.. if the springs were backwards which im 110% sure they arent wouldnt the front be slammed... crap im pissed off looks like a ricer drop or something

 

You don`t have a huge sub box or anything in the trunk, right?

 

no nothing.. no spare... its a hatchback by the way...

 

If you have the Neuspeed Koni SP3s, they should have 5 circlip locations for the spring percha dn with those springs you should be in the middle of the 5 locations. If your perch circlips have been moved, that would do it as well.

 

they are in the middle .. i was wondering if it would be a bad idea to move the fronts down one.. pics are coming

 

im a stupid newb installing suspension and the seat of the spring on the front is upside down.. **not the spring but the SPRING SEAT*** gah thought id share that with you guys .. trying to learn this some how.. i just now got it.. i feel better but at the same time i feel retarded.. thanks for the help ... respond and humor me..

 

it's coo, everybody makes mistakes, we're only human

 

driving impressions: well since its fixed the ride is amazing.. i couldnt believe its this smooth... handling is great.. i knew neuspeed race would be low but i dunno it may grow on me.. plus i have 17s they dont rub.. in the future i want 16s i think itll look better and perform better overall...

 

At least you figured it out and got it fixed.

 

i was bummed out all friday night after the install bc of the height in the front.. and sunday after i figured it out.. i cant stop looking at my car..

 

This actually brings me an interesting question when someone said on these springs the perch should be in the middle. I am looking for a 1.5-1.75 drop but I want the spring rates of a race spring. Would I be able to get a drop like that by using neuspeed race springs and setting the perches closer to the top or would this damage the suspension. I have koni yellows btw.
