i see HT convinced you to get stiffer springs, good job

they are at different settings because they are different spring rates, the fronts are stiffer , the rear is softer

or at least thats what i think

well ya but shouldnt i be able to raise and lower the fron and back to the same height, right now i can only raise the front cause the back is raised all the way so if i was to raise the front it would be way higher than the back.

sorry for butting in....... but i have the same setup on my 94 accord were the back coils are raised to the max and the front about half way.....by any chance when u hit a bump does your car move a lot????.....like mine doesnt but it feels loose like it shifts to one side

my car doesnt move alot but it makes a weird sound (hard to describe) but there has been a few times where i have hit a bump and it feels like my *** end is spiting out (kinda feels like im bout to spin out) but that has only happened a couple times. what could that noise be the front does not make any noise what so ever but the back has alot of noise coming from it.

I dunno if u did the install, but remember the back springs are like 5" longer than the fronts stock... depending on the length of the coilover springs it's pretty likely that they will not be at the same height on the perch to get the same height wheel gap
