update: FIXED THE SAGGING and NO CLEARANCE REAR DRIVER, UNEVEN PROBLEMS..

replaced all the shocks with kyb gas a just (stocks shocks are blown smh)

comfort: close to stock..tho sometimes..a lil bouncy .. i dont know maybe its just me since this is my first time riding this low...

tanabe df210 springs are awesome for es1 sedans.. worth it..

so alignment for maybe a week?

Its not really "sagging" just seems like it from the naked eye, your rear quater panels are lower then your front fenders, so it seems like its sagging all lowering springs will do that. i had the same problem when i had my k-sport lowering springs. There's really nothing you can do about it, No theres nothing wrong with your car, if you would take your tires on and lay your car on the ground it would sit even. Hope i could help.

 

if the spring manufacturer can't figure out how to drop the car evenly, they're doing a shitty job of designing springs...

 

imo, the rears look even relative to each other...

looks like the problem is that the rears look too low relative to the front. are those tanabe springs designed for coupes? if yes, that's why the rears are sitting lower than the front. the rear of the sedan is heavier than the rear of the coupe

 

Hmmm..

Your camera angles are different per photo, throwing perspective off a little bit. The driver's side, you're even with the wheel well. The passenger side, we're looking up into the wheel well. Of course it looks uneven. The full-shots don't look terribly askew.

Is there anything in the trunk?

Did you just install these? If so, give them a little time to settle.





PS. Ground Control coilover sleeves would have been a much better choice.

 

+1 on giving them a little time to settle.

Also, are you coming to this conclusion from simply looking at it?

Or have you measured from the center of the wheel to the fender..

 

thanks for the input..well the left side is really lower compared to the left..some says its because es engines and gas tanks are placed mostly to that side of the car.....

so you think its a good idea to put back the stock shocks on the rear and leave the front that way? like the car is sliding to the front

 

Do you have a full tank of gas by any chance?

 

stock height is not even all around. roads arent always perfect flat and the weight inside of the car won't be either- so dont worry too much about it unless the ride sucks too much....

 

What is your camber settings in the rear? When I first lowered my car I had the same problem, it was because my car needed an alignment bad. I got an alignment and the camber went from -3.5 to -1 causing the rear to level out.

 

havent done any alignment yet (is it the solution to the rear driver?)

gas is not full

how come when im riding stock its even? do you guys think its a lowering spring issue?

 

Your stock springs had plenty of time to settle, your new springs probably haven't settled yet. How long ago did you install them? You should wait a couple weeks after installing them in order for them to fully settle.

After they've settled, get an alignment.


Did you buy a rear camber kit? You'll need one.

 

and also i forgot that the rear is very bouncy.. could it be possibly a shock problem thats why its sagging?

 

happen to me too but to my em1.

i have full coilover and have to drop the right passanger side more then the driver passanger side, i hate it.

something with the camber is causing the problem though

 

Was it bouncy before you installed your lowering springs?

 

i didnt feel anything like that when i was riding on stock springs and shocks..

 

What does this fact suggest? If it rode fine until you installed these springs...

 

well lowering on stock shocks and struts is never gonna be the best feeling... pretty much u may just have to get used to it or get some after market shocks and struts.. ur ride height looks fine.. doesnt really look like its sagging really

 

Well on that note, i had 2" k-sport springs and they rode wonderful i never had a problem with them.
