alright so i put Eibach Sportlines on my 05 rsx last week the back sits good and low like i want it to but the front still has that 1.5 to 2 fingure gap could i of done somthing wrong any suggestions.

 

Did you put aftermarket struts on with the lowring springs? Sometimes springs will just sit lower in the back on a Honda. Though I wouldn't expect that from eibach.

 

i just used the stock struts and used the eibach springs on those i dont know if it might just be that they need to settel but i dont think they would be that high even if they did need to

 

Some of it could be because it needs to settle. Sometimes the stock struts won't let the springs sit as low as they could.

 

im really hopeing that it needs to settel my friend put the same springs on his 07 si sedan with stock struts and its low idk we will just have to see

 

let it settle it happened to me, it will be fine

not true....

i work on suspension all day at my work....

 

i had this problem with my tein's

u can't do nothing about it...

the *** sag's because of the suspesion tuged by the front of the car...

u need either full coilovers...

of just one coil off the front...

 

its not the springs
i have the same exact setup and its perfectly even all around

not sure what the problem could be but i'll find a pic of my car after the install

 

here are some REALLY old pics





see the front VV



mine is a finger gap (if that) on all corners
did you get yours from ebay or something :S

 

I bought them off of tirerack i had a tech from my work help me out the day i put them on so i know taht there put on right

 

You put them on stock shocks, which are probably already worn out. This certainly won't help your sagging problem in the rear, nor will it help the way the car handles.

I suggest that you spend a few $$ and do the suspension correctly and get some new aftermarket shocks.

Aftermarket lowering springs on worn out stock shocks, especially the RSX/EP3, is trouble waiting to happen.

I have the same setup right now, and mine sits a tad bit lower in the back, but thats how it's supposed to be with sportlines.

Did you make sure to cut the bumpstops in half?

 

I bought Koni Yellows and had the same prob. The back sags a bit. Its noticable but not too bad. Ive had them for about 6-7 months and they havent settled alot yet. I dunno what to do either do I need to buy new front springs that are lower or what.

 

yeah i cut the bump stops and who gives a **** if i used stock struts or not its not going to make that big of a difference im sorry i dont have $1000 to spend on my car to buy struts and springs and plus mommy and daddy dont buy all my stuff so

You came in here asking for advice. Fact is, if you have worn, stock, struts and lower your car, it may cause it to sag or run like ****. I don't think mommy and daddy buy too many of us our cars or parts for them. I mean I'm here paying for school by myself. My parents offer me alot of support, but I would never except a dime from them(except for birthday's and Christmas ) because they have their own life and bills and work hard for their money. I think that goes for most, not all, of us here.

 

yeah same here im paying for college and all my bills so thats y im not trying to spend 1000 on springs and sturts ik alot of people that used their stock struts and havnt had a problem the reason y i asked about the front is because my friend has the same set up on his 07 si and his rear has pretty much the same amount of drop but my front still has the 1-2 fingure gap i appresiate all the help every one has been giving!!

Nobody said to go out and spend a grand on shocks/springs. You could have gotten a nice (even adjustable dampening) setup for ~$750. If you can't afford to mod right, you picked the wrong car. And yes, it is going to make that big of a difference when you're driving down the road in a couple months and it is bouncy like slammed 95 Eclipse. Bouncy rides are a laughing stock in my mind. It's completely contradictory lowering a car on stock struts.

 

ok still even if my car is the "laughing stock" that still doesnt explain why OTHER people with the same set up dont have a problem i do and wait a second they have been running this set up for a couple of years and havnt had a problem

 

Post some pictures so we can see how bad it is. It's hard to mess a spring install up. How many miles on car?

 

25000 ill take some pics tomorrow its alittle dark right now to take any
