this is a pic of my car with new rear shocks and coil over all the way down

and this is how it use to sit with cut springs

ever since u put those new rear shocks it doesnt go lower in the rear even with coilover all the way down do u all think the car looks weird how it sits now opinions would help should i just leave it like that

 

Dude , i'll roll on coilovers anyday over ghetto cut springs.

 

but do u all think it looks good like how it sits now in 1st pic or its to high

 

i guess i aint the only one with a drop like that

 

drop it with just the coilover spring and take out the perches or whatever its called..it will get lower

 

on all four

 

looks very nice as is!!! i want your rims! lol.

Dude I really cant tell, its dark near the wheelwell, but i'd say lower it two fingers before it tucks, AND CHANGE THE COILOVERS TO RACING LOWERING SPRINGS, they ride better...my opinion.

 

lowering springs i heard of some that drop it like 3.00 and 3.25 but i cant remember who makes them its either that next or im just going to go for full coilovers but the ride does feel smooth with the way the car sits now than before on cut springs i just need an alighnment cause i kinda do get a little vibration when i accelarate now

Lowering springs definately, NEUSPEED makes some really stiff ones, no bounce play and rides smooth. Even if it feels smooth with the coils, you'll have alot of vibrations and if too low you'll eat through tires like a fat kid in a candy store.....by himself...lol...until you put some cambers on em and do the alignment.

 

most EF's have this problem with coilovers, there are a few ways to fix it, take out the bottom threaded nut on the sleeve (just leaving the one as a perch basically. if you are on OEM style dampers you have to cut the original spring perch in order to get the sleeves all the way down (the coilover spring seat will sit on the top of the OE spring seat, cutting it down to the bottom (basically just a seat around the strut) gains about 1.5" more drop. and pulling the rubber out the top of the assembly, the upper spring rubber, if its still there is another .5 inches.

wow... that makes the HX's look huge

 

i just put brand new tokico blues and dropzone springs 2.5 F & 2.25 R on my 89 hatch and its so high in rear also. its like higher then stock so im gonna have to cut like 2 coils off to get it to sit perfect... the car is sittin the same as yours (kixcrx)


WTF!! lol supposed to be lower not higher


* YES the springs are on correct - fronts in front and rears in rear. -- this is the first time i ever had this happen im guessing bc everything is brand new never used. and also the EBRAKE IS OFF lol.

did you remove the dust covers and bumpstops in the rear??? just making sure, that looks WAY too high to be any kind of drop on those HUGE wheels.

 

D2 36 way adjustable coilovers. i can drop it another 2 inchs easily.

 

mine aint that high as that hatch now thats high i just found out what the problem was the new shocks i got are diffrent than stock the thing where the spring sits which i believe is the cup sits higher than the one on the old shocks i had on i think new ones have longer body what can i do to fix the problem do i have to get diffrent shocks

 

nice start. . .

 

Either run the coilover springs only for the ultimate dump/worst ride ever or cut the cup for the rear coilover perch to sit on (common practice with dumped cars running GC's/non-koni shocks) for a somewhat more bearable but still bad ride .

im rolling on omni sleeves w/ tokico shocks but i'm happy with my rear drop. i'm going to take out the fronts to make it tuck more on my si wheels

 

ill never go back to the sleeved coil bullshit. k-sport coilovers with LCAs. my LCAs point upward in the rear and i still dont bottom.

 

this is not the cosmetic forum. or the suspension forum. what the hell do the mods do these days.

 

Car looks good

this is actually a tech question: what can i do to get my car lower??? or thats how i seen it atleast, he wasnt really asking what we think of it.

 

What type of coilovers are they that makes a difference.
