yea....WHY are my back springs sittin so high?...and wat can i do to drop it? cuz they suppose to be 2.5 in frnt and 2.25 in the bak

 

Maybe you have the front springs in the rear and rear springs in the front..Because I have personally used those dropzone springs and it was never like that.

 

but the springs themselves was labeled "front" and "rear" was yours for the 91 hb?

 

Yeah mine were for the 88-91 civic..

 

hmmmmmmm,........................... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1572693

 

ummm..damn....u gotta pix of ur car?..

 

No pics of my car,,sorry..Did you read that thread he posted,? THat person was having the same problem as you and found out he had the wrong springs for his application..


It looked something like this though

 

yea i read it...but damnit...i doubt i can get them to change it for me...and wat are the bumpstops they were talkin bout?...or the dust boot?...so yea...wat if i jus got rid of those?

 

You keep the bumpstops,,just cut them a bit when lowering the car..Im not sure how much you're supposed to cut them exactly but I cut mine in half..and my car never came with the dust covers,previous owner had lost them or something.. ..

 

koo...thanks...but damnit. i still need more info....ANYONE ELSE CAN HELP ME OUT??>>>>

 

Modified your pic to view spring better:


Edit: and the bumpstop is the foamy rubber thing wrapped around the shock absorber's shiny part.

 

ohh..that plastic/rubber thing..wouldnt that make noises? if i removed them?..

 

Are you sure that the springs in the back are different from the ones in the front? My first time changing springs, the result looked the same as your car. The problem was that the company sent me two sets of front springs. Could be that or you mixed up the springs and put the front on the back and tha back on the front. It actually does look that way - because the front is very low and the rear is very high.

 

COULD be...BUT....the back ones cad that lil cut that smoothes out the top to fit into the dust boot...so yea its still the rear...

 

check LCa's The shock bushing is supposed to be lower

 

i think you have to take off those tail lights and then they should be pounded!

 

Maybe they labeled the springs wrong, but also they look like they could be for a teg. A civic/crx with teg rear springs will be able to go off-roading

 

c'mon people still need help here...wat are more other options?..

BUMP

 

What shock are you using. I saw a post just a couple days ago about someone having the same problem. I think he was using KYB AGX.

 

well the front definately isnt a 2.5 drop.. way more than that. i'd say you got them reversed even if the sticker staid front/back.. maybe someone messed up when they put the stickers on.. try switchin them around

 

lol, i'd be willing to bet those are integra DA springs they sent ya. i dropped my car 3 months ago and had the same problem, looked just like yours, i used H&R Sports, kept fighting with the seller about it he kept saying all civic/integra springs are the same. i kept saying your an idiot thats not possible because the integra is 1000 f*cking pounds heavier. Anyhow he sent me another set that said Civic on them and guess what, the coils were thinner and shorter and wow they actually did what they were supposed to do. Call up the place you bought them from say you want them warrentied.

That's what I said earlier, you have off-roading springs.

Thats not true at all..Ive used the dropzone lowering springs and slipovers..and both were great ..never sagged and never rusted like other "name brand" springs/coilovers
