iv read through countless suspension threads and i cant figure this out ...

iv put on H&R sport springs with koni yellow sp3s ...

the back drops fine .. iv got it on the second perch from the top and it bring about a one finger gap ..

the front is the problem .. .iv have it on the second from lowest perch and iv got an almost 2 1/2 finger gap ....

the brakeline bracket seems to be all the way up ... and fork seems fine ...i have no clue of what is causing this big gap in the front ... any input would sure help

 

anyone ?

1. check to see if you installed them properly (front in the fronts and rear in the rears)
2. check to see if it's assembled correctly

i'm running koni yellows sp3 and neuspeed race springs.
front is 4th perch down from the top
rear is 4th perch down from the top
and i'm sitting about flush (no gap) in the front and about 1/4inch gap in the rear.

yep, i have reassembled 3 times
and have followed instructions each time

this is my 5fitth suspension to have worked on and the only one iv ever had probs with ...the previous owner left me some surprises .... could it be the forks are from something else and they are longer than what would be under there ?

 

any other suggestions please ?

 

the fork is the only thing i can really think of .. does anyone know if there are larger forks than integras that will fit in onto the dc2 lca ?

 

ive heard of this before with the H&R sport making the car rake back

 

Thats not true I have H&R on Kyb and my car looks just fine. You need to check your install and make sure you have the springs on correctly and make sure everything is seated properly.



EDIT
BTW front wheelwell is larger than the rear so you may have a larger gap up front. Measure the jackpoints from the ground to see if the front is higher.

that is why i think it is the fork since iv taken them apart 3 times and put them back together .. i know ppl can make mistakes but i do have the front springs on the front and the purch is sitting the correct way ... i have dropped the spring a lower purch jus so this would be lower than the rear... but its not hah ... i have no clue .. maybe the front springs are just fuked for some reason

 

If you are installing on a 2nd Gen Integra, the gap is alittle more in the front because the fender is cut higher than in the rear stock. But since you have the adjustable perches with your Koni yellows, you should be able to adjust it out.

My Neuspeed Sports are 1.8 inch drop for all four corners, so the front gap is still greater than the back, since that is how it was originally, but once the springs settle, it isn't that bad actually.

Now, if you are installing on a 94 and up teg, I have no flippin idea.

1.75 in the front and 1.25 in the rear. therefore, front will be lower.

I think u are talking about the OE springs or the Sorry azz Eibach Pro kit. Eibach Pro Kits really sucks. Baically cut stock springs.

</TD></TR></TABLE>

what are you talking about ? i know they dont make your car look like a speed boat "hints " the reason for the thread
yes the sports drop 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the rear .... that is why this is so fuked up ! because my rears are fine ! ... i have checked part #s /location of front and rear springs ...

Let me rephrase, I've heard someone with Koni's and H&R sports have this same complaint before. But I dont know why

 

Sounds like the spring perch is upside down. In the rear the perch 'cups' upward but in the front the perch 'cups' downward. Check that.

checked that too , thanx for the reply
the front purch hangs like a bell

 

How far does the shock stick out the bottom the fork. My yellows stick out approx. 5mm.

i remember it was much that was sticking out

do you by chacne have a pic of your koni fronts installed ? of the shock it self and a side view of it in the fork ... just want something to compare to , if you dont mind or if you can that is .. thanx

 

i have some pics now if anyone minds taking a look

 

Every tried reversing the springs. Meaning the ones you have upfront now, put them in the back. Vice versa.

 

i had some on my old car but sold it .. it was no probs

havent tried that, i wondering now if maybe it partly how far its in the fork .. maybe i just need to take the brake line holder out and get more room
