ok well i put sportlines and agx's on last week thinking oh sweet ill have like a 1 finger wheel well gap. well i got the car on the ground and its alot lower than i thought it was going to be. low to the point that it wouldnt come off the lift. There is a zero finger gap all around, i mean the tires arent really tucked but you couldnt even get a ruler in there. and one side is a littttttttle lower than the other. i can fit a pinky in the gap on one side, and nothing on the other. bah, i dont wanna ******* install new springs again... especially now that i cant use the lift

if anyone has pictures of their 94 and up integra with sportlines id love to take a look. ive searched around and most pictures dont work anymore. stock wheels preferably. Ill post pictures of my car when i get off work, see what you guys think about the super drop.

I'm sure using a lift makes this alot quicker, but swapping out the suspension in the teg is pretty simple using a jack.

Your suspension may not have settled, as far as one side being lower.

I'll see if I have any old pics of my drop with AGX's.

 

Very old pic of my dirty car in the winter. This is with AGX's, and H&R Sports.

How much of a drop are the sportlines?

 

id say its a similar drop to that... maybe a little lower. thanks for the help rusker... and in advance to anyone else who takes some time to respond

edit: this is probably super important information. the springs were used for roughly 5k miles when i bought them.

 

you can kind of see how low my car is with that same setup

pic doesnt work

another edit, cause i cant seem to say everything i need to when i click reply. im running stock sized tires, 195 55 15

 

I don't really have any problems with scrapping around town. Can't say I never have, but I'm fairly cautious of where I bring the teg.

 

Different angle, with proof I do wash my car.

 

oh dear god xteg01, my car is like... a shocking amount lower than yours. sigh, always problems.

 

Sportlines are 1.7" f/r. I have them on my car and I have no issues with it being "too" low, although I'm running Koni Yellows with the adjustable perch settings which allows me to adjust the height at 20mm intervals.

yeash...I mean the back sits slightly lower but still isnt that bad. I just put those shocks/struts on my new car, ill get a side shot for you tonight when i get it finished.

 

i guess the point of my story is they are way lower than they are supposed to be. could it just be spring sag? did i install them wrong? is it just time to get new springs?

 

Are you sure they are the springs the seller said they were? They aren't modified at all are they?

I've had my springs on my car for about 3 years. I drive the car about 9-10k a year, so I'm not putting the same wear on them, but I haven't noticed any additional drop.

Did you buy them used? You sure you didnt install them upside down or anything weird like that?

 

and you dint get the springs mixed up like front in back and back springs in front right? or both fronts on one side and both rears on the other side.

 

i bought them from a guy i trust very well, hes a stand up guy. i got the f's in the f and the r's in the r. so i dont htink i mixed the springs up. and the text is all right side up... so i assume they arent up side down. here are pictures... i hope im just a wuss and this is all normal. so if i am... just come right out and say it. "kevpotts, stop being such a girl, car looks fine, go lift weights and watch footbal"



shoudl go in appearance/cosmetic but whatever

 

my rear sits about that low, but i dont think its anything abnormal...depending on how old they are they do sag a little after a while. but i think you should be ok.

 

WUSS!! that isnt low at all.

 

thats what i like to hear

 

yeah i wouldnt say they are too low.. you car looks great man.. dont worry so much

Agreed, that looks good.

Also, the car will be slightly lower on one side than the other, it is stock, but you don't notice with the 4" wheel well gap. The weight isn't 50/50 left to right, since the engine is off to one side. The good news is, no one else will notice, since they'll only be looking at one side of the car at a time.

 

thats what i like to hear. thanks for your help and kind words everyone. i can sleep easy again.

 

Anyone i know would be happy with a drop like that, car looks great!

 

that looks sick. what the hell are you complaing about?!?!

 

Thats how my teggy sits. But mine is on Tein Springs, and KYB shocks..nice ride by the way
