ok...i have a 04 ep3 and i have Tein basic's. I was messing with the suspension and wanted to see what it would look like all the way down. So i started adjusting and it didnt even get all the way down and started to come out of the seat the spring sits in. The car is on a lift right now and I know theres no tension on the wheels or suspension but is this a bad thing? Will it sit back in when it gets on the ground? Please and thank you guys, Ep3/Dc5 forum is Teh Pwnzor!

 

Anyone? Oh come on there has to be someone thats knows something about suspension here...

 

You mean the perches are so far down that the spring isn't being compressed at all?

My Accord's coils did the same thing. Just go down slowly and watch the spring's position. Good luck with the lift.

 

so its totally ok? and the lift is one that you just slide the arms under the car.

 

It was okay on my Accord but the spring compressed a good amount after the car's weight was on the tires. I wouldn't drive it if the spring isn't compressed "enough" (to your satistfaction). I don't think Tein would give a customer the option to lower the car to the point that is was dangerous.

I was saying the lift would be hard to lower slowly but that is from personal experience. Maybe your lift is nicer.

 

ok...so the Tein's are adjusted all the way down and it doesnt look or drive that bad. It feels more like daily driving then racing stiff, kinda feels a bit softer.
