I bought some springs and struts. I got the skunk2 springs and the kyb br-2 struts but it sits to low...I was wondering if any one else has these springs on there car and how low it sits..

my oil pan is only 4 fingers off the ground

 

dude just leave as is it looks good

does it ride good?

 

do you only have the fronts installed?

 

yes...im scared to drive it..the tires stick out so if I hit a bump its going to slice my tires

 

which springs go on the front...heres pics

 

just roll the lip on the fenders and you will be good to go also if u have a b-series then its gonna sit lower

 

yea I got a b series but man my damn oil pan is only 4 fingers off the ground..

Which springs go in front pics up top

 

the ones on the left go in the front. As good as it may look, I wouldn't drive it with the pan that low to the ground, especially if your roads are bad.

 

which picture the 1st or 2nd?

 

my bad, the first pic.

 

ya dont worry about it man, my EF is lower then that and i never had any problems with my car being so low. Also i drive on some pretty bad roads. Just leave it looks real Nice!!!

 

well how much clearance does your oil pan have...im running b-series in mine...also I put the springs on the smaller ones.(right ones in 2nd pic) now I have 2 finger clearance between the fender and the tire

also can any one post pics right now because its not letting me?

 

heres the difference with the springs swithced around

 

is this the way its soppuse to sit or is it soppuse to be slammed like in the first picture

 

Hahaha thats I always thought my Rex sat low. Then I got a miata, I had problems putting it on the lift stock. We had to push it on, since then I got it lowered approximately 50 mm. LOL I love my car and everyspeed bump regardless of size is always a huge problem.

 

gotta remember, 98% of springs designed for our cars aren't meant for b's. Progress makes nice b-swap springs, but other then that they are horribly undersprung for swapped cars, and i believe the sk2s are no different. the wider in diameter spring is going to be the correct spring for the front. I'd just sell them and get something that you know will have a reasonable ride height (tanabe makes a nice spring for the B-powered EFs as well)

I have the Progress coilovers and there's only a finger gap between my fender and tire. Never had a problem rubbing at all or anything like that. I wouldn't trade my suspension setup for anything.

 

k thanks

 

Should've just gotten some ground controls. Those GR-2's are not gonna last long with higher rate springs. GR-2's are intended as OEM replacements not as a high performance replacement...need either gas-a-justs or AGX's. I'm not a big fan of KYB's anyways I'm partial to Koni.

Which type do you have? I got the Progress Type II's on my sedan... LOVE them, its pretty much a Carrera shock with a coilover kit on it and the mounting brackets attached to the bottom, but its a hell of a set up. I also wouldn't trade mine for much ( maybe some penskes )

 

you should of just spent the extra money and gotten the full coilovers kit, skunk2 makes some good ones, i have that in my EF

I have the same, Competition 2's. Phenomenal. But I also have a Carrera... The Carrera's braking system makes it feel like it handles better, but I'd bet my CRX holds more cornering G's. Regardless both are the ******* MAN when it comes to handling.

EDIT: By "I" I mean my father. And by "Carrera" I mean Carerra S

LOL, wow. Carrera can mean a bunch of things apparently. I was refering to Carrera Shocks / Dampers, part of the QA-1 corporate family. If you look at how the shock is made (and you're a parts nerd like me), I believe theres only two companies in the country that can "crimp" a shock closed like that, the two being Carrera and Monroe. So I'm thinking progress just gets their valving specs and sends it off to carrera to have the shocks made, they might make the bodies an just have carrera crimp it as well, I'm not sure. Either way, they are quality pieces and my sedan handles like a banshee now.

 

Raise the car?
