Default Integra Ground Controls

my boy bought a set of ground controls for his 95 integra...do they also fit 92-95 hatches or ar those different from these... because we installed them right now and when we put the front ones to the highest level they can go and it still sits right on the tire.... he is on 17 inch rims with 40 series tires... does that sound right?...i would think you could have it a inch or two over the tire if you wanted and about an inch under... not 3 inches under and up to the tire exactly. and just to make shurr your supposed to put the shorter sleeved springs on the front correct?

maybe its too late to ask this now since we have the whole suspension on, but is there a difference between the springs from front and rear in size, or are they the same, and just the adjustable sleeves different in size

I have ground controls on my teg and they are set at the highest level right now and I have about an inch-inch 1/2 between the top of my tire and the fender.

spring rate is different front to rear. The last number in the sequence of 3 should be the highest on the rear.

Your springs and spring perches/collars are probably switched up.

If it's a off the shelf system, the shorter perch/collar will be in the front, along with the higher rate spring. The longer perch/collar is in the back with the lower rate spring.

The shorter perch/collar should look like this:
