I just lowered my car with koni springs and struts. 1.7 front and 1.5 in back but after lower the jacks and space between the wheel base and tire is alot lower in back then front? Why might this be? could it cause any problems in the long run. Its horribly lower but noticable! thanks all

 

that's just how they're made. alot of springs are like this, and yes it is kinda weird looking. it wont cause any problems though that i have heard of.

 

if you hate the looks
you would have to get used to it or get a different set of springs

but no problems that i've ever heard of either

 

i had the same issue with my stech teins...but after a week or soo the springs settled in and it went down a bit...maybe just wait and see..just depends when u lowered your car

 

DID YOU FORGET TO CUT THE BUMP STOPS? THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO LOOK
BAD. YOU DIDNT BUY THTE SPRINGS USED DID YOU. THEY COULD HAVE SAGGED FROM THE PREVIOUS INSTALL?

this is a common problem for rsx's depending on the brand and year you got your springs

so it may not be an installation error

 

ya most RSX spring tend to sagg in the rear...dont know why but ya its pretty gay..lol

 

oh yeah!! and its horrible the way it looks. it'll even look worst when you pack peoples in the car. still saving money for tein flex or basic.

FLEXS FTMFW

 

Mine is the same way

 

Oh wow. Sorry to hear that with your setup. I am not familiar with the springs you have and the only explaination I could think of for a raised rear end, is not cutting the bump stops. I assume you did this though cause I have never heard of anyone missing this step. It is most likely just the springs. I ended up purchasing the Eibach Sportlines. Definitely a great feel in ride and the whole car sits flush. GL.

 

Call Koni. They have some of the the best customer service out of anyone when it comes to their parts.

I'm sure you're not the only person who would have called about this.
