i put some rear eg/dc tokicos on my da with the same tein lowering springs i already had and it lifted up the back up like 3 inches. i also took off my lca's so i could grease up the bushings. so what did i do wrong when i put everything back together? my lca's arent swapped around.

 

never heard of this happening. are the springs for a DA or for an EG/DC? did they come with the shocks?

 

their tein s tech springs for a da

 

thats really weird because DC rear shocks are generally like an inch shorter than DA shocks. i have the same setup on my DA with Tokico Blues

 

any ideas what i did wrong? i compared these struts next to the ones that were on it and the eg/dc struts are about 2 inches shorter

 

sway bar bolted up? top hats bolted all the way down? maybe the springs just need to re-settle themselves

 

yea the sway bar is bolted up. the top hats arent tightened all the way and neither are the shocks but this shouldnt cause a 3 inch lift. shorter struts should lower my car right? i pushed down on the back of the car like 10 times and it still didnt go down

 

tighten up the top hats. make sure the springs are sitting correctly in their cups, and check to see if you over tightened the lca bolts.

 

i might have over tighted my lca bolts

 

maybe thats why

 

would that cause it to sit 3 inches higher and still go down when i push down on the trunk?

 

loosen the lca bolts and see if the car goes back down

 

i actually put some rsr lowerin springs on my da but they were for a dc. and i took it out and tried mounting it to the da sturt and didnt fit...so u need to make sure ur coil and strut are the same ...u need a dc coil.....i had to do the entire conversion on mines both front and rear cuz the da coils slightly smaller and doesnt really mount the cup right....

 

i loosened my lca's and it still didnt go down so i put my da shocks back on and its still high in the back i have no idea what i did wrong? my springs fit perfect in both cups so i dont know what the problem is.

 

hmmm maybe u did over tighten the lca bolts...losen them and see if itll go down...if not u might need to redo everything and see if maybe it makes a diffrence

 

did u also put new struts on the front?

 

no just the rear

 

wow this is really starting to make me think WTF? lol

 

same here its really stressin me out lol

 

do u have pics of the suspension and the 3 inch lift?

 

is it possible that i put my lca's on upside down?

 

maybe??? sounds like a long shot but why dnt u try taking them off and putting them the other way see if it works

 

lmao!!!! holy crap i never thought of that one. take some pics.

 

i will tomarrow

 

hahaha you might have put it in upside down, the curve part of the lca is suposed to be towards the ground
