new kyb struts, h&r 51852 lower kit, now rides like shit, and squeaks please help
I wanted to lower the 95 accord. with the h and r 51852 kit supposed to be 1.75 front and 1.5 rear drop. Installed now sounds almost like its on the bump stops? I cut the front bump stops in half. A little better now. But still squeak sounds when going over bumps slowly.. I measured another accord today and the front of mine was 3.25 inches lower. Why? Anybody. kyb struts. I think they were 341497 and 341498
Please help any ideas of what the problem is. I seems to be very bouncy. I had a 93 civic with 19 inch wheels and a neuspeed race drop that rode better. I still have the stocks on the accord.

This... Also, when you swapped the spring/strut combo, was it delivered to you 1.assembled or 2.did you have to put the strut/spring combo together yourself? If it was option 2, did you buy new strut bearings/collars? WHat I mean is part 12 and 10 in the diagram below.. The reason I asked is a lot of times when spring/strut combos are replaced(regardless of stock or aftermarket specifications) people don't want to spend the extra money to get the strut bearings/collars replaced and quite often get "squeeks" and/or a "jounce/bouncing/bottoming out" feel from the suspension when hitting rough ares in the road or going over speed bumps.
Also keep in mind that lowering your car will put more stress on all of those old balljoints and bushings. My UCA's squeaked when I first did my drop on H&R Sport springs and KYB AGX's until I replaced them.
Ok the rear has stopped. Im gunna try to replace the spring seat on the top of the front spring.
Thank you
Uca's ? upper control arms?
