i jus installed a set of springs on my EF. fronts were fine. but the bak is higher than stock. i have no idea where i went wrong in the install. any special way that i'm supposed to install the rear springs. i know that the front i did not need a compressor to put the top hat on but the rears i had to compress in able to screw the top hat on.

 

Never did springs before but the shorter ones are for the front and longer springs go in the back correct?

 

longer ones go in the front i believe cause of the higher spring rate. what springs did you get?

 

Are they eGay coilovers? Everytime I have seen those, they always have the similar problem.

 

great question for the suspension thread. a good way to add some tech!

 

no i actually got them from specdtuning.com . could it be caused by me not tightening the top hat down all the way?? i just switched them from back to front and now the back is lower and the front is higher lol. WTF MAN! haha. well the longer ones are now up front. but i'm hoping i didnt F*** up the rear ones by putting them in the front for a day.

 

did you drive the car around to let the suspension settle?

 

lol didn't they come with instruction manual?

 

wtf kind of springs do you have??? are they coilovers or just lowering springs??

 

I would guess he has just lowering springs.
And yeah, why no instruction manual?
The longer springs are for the front since most of the weight is over the nose with the engine and tranny, they get compressed more than the rear.
My thought would be you haven't messed up your car, just that you have the wrong set of springs. Maybe for an integra rather than a Civic/crx. Call up specdtuning and see what they say.

 

yea sounds like its the wrong setup for the ef....

 

What brand are they? Contact the manufacturer to see if they are the correct ones.
