So I am told that I have KYB AGX's installed, but they were originally off an Integra. My car sits a little high in comparison to other Civic's on the same drop. Are the Integra shocks a little bit longer? Thanks!

 

No, they are not longer. What do you mean by same drop? Wouldn't the same drop have your Civic and the other Civic at the same height? It's your springs.

 

dampers have no bearing on ride height. maybe you think it sits higher cuz your tires are smaller or something.

 

I tried to put coilovers on, and I would adjust the height where it should at least lower it 1" lower and it did nothing.

 

My Neuspeed Sports were higher, my Neuspeed Race's are higher, and my GC's wouldn't lower past 2 finger gap. What gives?

 

No, they are the same...

 

the only diff between the shocks are thier stiffness correct me if im wrong someone?

No they are the same.

The only difference is the width of the shock where it mounts to the lca. DC/EG is wider then the EK.

 

Wow. Ok.

Well does anyone have any ideas on why my ride height is higher? Especially in regards to why the coilovers weren't lowering like they were supposed to?

If you just swapped them over with springs/coilovers(without dissasembling), then you shouldn't have adjusted them. That threw them off imo. Sometimes you have to drive the car for a few feet before they set down. Happened to my EG. Since you didn't do this, it sat higher and you messed with the sleeve right?

I jumped on the car, which is the same effect.

Not that it matters, if I move the sleeve an inch or two down, the ride height was not effected at ALL.

 

When you lower the car back down is the spring compressed or still loose on the shock.

 

Good question!! I am pretty sure the spring was compressed, but let me ask the guy who I was installing with.

Just for curiousity, give me a response for both occasions.

 

Car is higher due to the shock. You could take a stock Civic spring and put Integra shocks on it and you'll notice the ride height WILL be higher.

Shocks are model specific, just as much as the spring.

I think these guys are right though. The 94-01 Integra and the 92-95 Civic have the same model number for KYB.

Shocks are ideintical. Spring rates do differ between models though.

What does spring rates have to do in regards to shocks and the ride height?

 

are you sure something isnt binding in the wheel well??? maybe your uca hitting the inner fenders???

Wouldn't that make quite a bit of noise??

 

yeah, most likely, i was thinking you just put them on and didnt even drive yet.

 

Right now I am on the Neuspeed Race Springs, and have about 1-2 finger gap, and have driven around on these for a couple months now.
