Tien suspension height question. need help quick!!
Ok im in the middle of putting on my suspension on my rsx and I wanted to see if anyone could tell me the height the used to set the springs at, so i dont have to go all around a expletive with it. I want it pretty slamed but not rediculous, i still need to be able to manage my way over a speed bump. IU dont wanna have any wheel well gap. So if anyone could tell me what height they used and how it looks please let me know or give me an idea.
Things to know...
-I dont have any lip.
-Im on stock rims/tires
-its an 02 base model
-Its the tien basic damper
If you have any sugestsions or anything please write somthing.. thanks!

i really wish i could help... i have the tein springs only so i cannot adjust the height. it looks slammed but not like too much. theres very little (if any) wheel well gap but i do have to go like 1 or 2 mph over speed bumps or else ill bottom out. other then that i love them. once again, sorry i cant really help. youre best bet would probably be trial and error. set them up, see how low the car is and see how it rides, and if needed change it later
The only advice I have to offer is not to lower it very much at all.
The stroke on the front end is very short to start with, and you don't want to end up too much shorter than OEM. You'll tend to blow shocks.
Try not to lower it more than an inch, and try to make sure the stroke stays as long as possible.

in the instructions, they provide measurements on how high you should place the perches in mm. you should follow that. I havent been to their site in a while but they had pdf versions of their instructions. On the coilovers that you have the preload changes with the height that you choose, go with the recommended height listed in the doc.
