I have just finished installing a new set of Skunk2 ProS coilovers on my CRX. I measured the lower perches carefully before locking them up. After about 100 miles of test drive, the front left is about 1" lower than the right. What's going on? I'm pretty sure that the springs are all the same size, or aren't they?

Any ideas?

 

no they aren't the same size. they are labled front and rear. not sure which way it is but one is shorter than the other. i did it on my 90 ls. kind of funny looking/ feeling huh? lol.

 

Are you sure about that? Damn, I thought I was being very careful when putting them together. I felt something wasn't right when one side was alot harder to adjust than the other, but I always thought that they are all the same size.

 

i think the sleeve's are the same size, but the springs are different. did you mount your struts the same way you took them out? if you put the big *** washer on top of the mount, your struts won't work right and would make a noise, it goes right over the bump stop. onto that keyed part of the piston. the only thing i can tell you to is to jack up all 4 corners of your car and measure the springs.

 

back in the day a friend of mine had a dc2 and we put the rear on the front and vic-versa. it rode like a buggy. bouncy and soft as all get up. looked pretty funny also.

 

check and makesure you put the right springs on the right struts first off cuz you might of put the bigger springs on the front post some pics of all struts and it will be easier and make sure your front struts near the housing at the top are right the washers and rubber balancer and are the adjustables? make sure the pieces are at the right hight

 

glad to see i'm not the only one to ever do that.

 

OK. Thanks for the reponses. I just checked and found out that I did mixed up two of the springs.

Did anyone get any instruction with the set you purchased from Skunk2?

The springs are exactly the same length, only the marking on them are slightly different. I just went to Skunk2 website to download the installation instruction. Only there that I found how to distinguish the differences: front springs end with ...008S and rear end with ...006S for 8kg/mm and 6kg/mm, respectively. That information is only found in the part list.
