hi i bought my setup off here from someone that had ground controls with kyb agxs on his hatch. his hatch was perfectly level. well i got them a few months back and had some friends help with the install onto my 93 del sol and i believe that they are installed wrong. the front coilovers are raised as much as they can go and the front still looks pretty low. as for the rear its the opposite. the rear coilovers are lowered as much as they can go and the back height looks almost stock. So do the rears need to go in the front and the fronts in the rear? also i was told the rear struts wouldnt fit on the front is this true? thanks for trying to figure this out.

Are they custom rates / lenghts? What are the numbers on the springs? I beleive the OTS rates come with different lenght sleeves and springs.

This is true, and they're shocks not struts fyi.

 

i believe they are the regular lenths and rates that are for the 92-00 civic

The 88-00 civics came with a coilover shock (also dubbed multilink or double wishbone) suspension. The 2001+ civics have a McPhearson strut suspension up front.

So what are the numbers on each of the springs on the corners?

 

ok now stfu about them being shocks and not struts. dont post if your going to say that. i will jack the car up tom and find out.

 

hey found out what the problem was. the front springs were mixed up with the rear.

 

i had that same problem. some stupid ht user wrote the wrong directions and i since i didnt have instructions (used) i believed him.. stupid on my part.... but still i thot ppl who write advice would at least know it to be correct when they do kinda annoying.
