I have noticed that ever since I put a b16 in my car, It seems to sit lower on the driver side.. My guess would be its lower becuase of the added weight.. Anyone know if this is a problem, or is this how the springs are.???. I have Koni Yellows W/ H&R Sport Springs(dark blue). Throughout my research, I have discovered the CRX and the Hatchback having different parts numbers for the same spring.. I took the shocks/springs off of my crx before I sold it... I have the front set all the way up(first perch, highest setting) and I have maybe an inch of clearance between top of tire, and fenderwell... IM just wondering If my springs are worn out,,,or maybe a bad seal in the shock from being under too much of a load, and daily driving.. and help would be appreciated.

Your pic isnt worky...let me see if I can fixy

 

hey thanx.. I was gunna repost it, but I'd figure to wait and see if anyone knows anything about this...

bump

 

Were they used ones previously owned by a fat ***?

 

maybe theres gold in the timing belt cover.

 

dark blue? hmm.... i got mine about 2 years ago brand new, and they're black.

maybe they're just really old & saggy...?

 

Drive it around for about a month or so to let the springs settle before you mess with anything. It'd be a shame to "fix" something only to find out later it was fine.

Ive been driving on these springs for about 2 years.. It was only about 6 months ago that I did a b16 swap, and now I am noticing the car being lower on the driver side... Any suggestions on which springs would ride good for daily driving, give me about the same drop, and not lean to the driver side????? Im contemplating new springs, or full coilovers..... any suggestions?

 

I got H&R sport springs. Couldn't be happier.

 

Yea my car came with H&Rs...dont seem to bad. Even though I only drove on them for about 50 miles then parked the car in my garage.

 

I'd go ahead and say that the strut is blown. Take it off, depress the shaft into the cylinder, if it doesnt come out on it's own, it's time for a new one.

 

sounds about right... if the spring is having to make up for the pressure loss in the strut it would sit lower

 

i still think theres gold in the timingbelt cover.
