need help tokico front shocks?
i have a 91 Honda civic sedan with tokico blue gas shocks on the front. The whole car is slammed but the left front sits about half inch higher then the right side front and both coilovers r all the way down. The shocks are still good. I have 450p front springs and 350p rear springs and i dont know what to do or how to fix it. so can some one help me.
All four coilover overs are at the same hieght but i just checked my back ride hieght the right rear is lower then the left rear and the left front is lower than the right front im thinking my frame is bent a lil about like inch. but i dont know but the front has been hit but not from me.
Possible tweaked frame or suspension. But try evening out the coils first. Is a tire low on air? And yes slammed on hp blues is bad news. They can only handle about 2 at most. Im running eibach sportlines on mine (1.8 frnt and 1.7 rear) and i like it. but anything lower and it wont last long, they will blow

Shocks don't hold up the car, the springs do. In a car with a separate shock and spring, you can remove the shocks and drive. Not advisable, but it can be done.
Something is probably bent or tweaked.

my exp. with tokico blues is that they sit good.
even lowered with springs.
I have a sedan too.
but if you slamm it, your going to get bad results.
They'll blow so fast.
but my guess it taht it is seating wrong in one of the top hats.

While all thisis mostly true... In a STRUT setting the "shock" also holds up the vehicle technical speaking because of having the spring perch built into it. One of the front struts could not be installed properly into the fork... double check how far each goes into the forks.

I've noticed my Si has the same problem. Both the front and rear driver's side is 3/4 inch lower than the passenger side. I've had my blues on stock springs for SEVERAL years.
How did you even come up with that from what I typed? You must not understand how STRUTS work... the shock body holds up the spring... I never said the rod held up anything as obviously it's a dampener... If the spring perch breaks off/ slips down on adjustable ones, you can kiss your theory bye-bye...
Dude im not ******ing up my car like my bro haves a 88 crx dx with b16 and the ppl who did this wiring made there own and my bro had to go though it and fix it but idk
