maybe they sent you defective coils?

was this an ebay buy cause ive heard of this from ebay coils before.

 

to get a 2" drop from the front of your civci there is a trick, just get front struts from a 90-93 teg with stock coil and put your civic bottom fork on and install them, the integra struts are shorter with a longer fork so when you install your civic fork it lowers the car roughly 2", the rears are kinda the oposite so dont use them from a older teg

 

hmm i hope not.

no it wasnt an ebay buy, i actually got them from there site for $150.00 but for some reason, they raised the price up lol
my friend is running ksports on his maxima, it went down just fine.

 

can shocks play a roll in this?
the fronts are running stocks, the backs have tokico blues.
i just ordered some KYB's should be here monday.

 

Don't know anything about an '88 but my guess is your bushings are binding.

 

Well let me say this, the owner before me, had those cheapy ebay coils, and it was low. got tired of the bouncy and decided to get springs. now that put these springs, its just lifted...with those cheapy ebay coils, it got low

 

Can this be a problem? for some reason, when i installed the rears, i didnt need to use the spring compressor....now do they need to be compressed? or that doesnt matter?

 

Still messing around with it, nothing is changing lol hmmm

 

As in you needed to compress the old ebays off and then didn't need to compress your lowering springs to fit them? If so theres definitely a problem

 

have you tired driving or moving the car? springs have to settle when you first install them

 

wat springs?
maybe the springs dont lower ur car much
maybe u havent driven them enough, takes a few miles to get the springs lowered

 

With drop springs they are alittle shorter than stock, so yes you can install them without a compressor, I just did this last week and yes you need to drive and let them settle

 

If your "springs" settle, they're already broken.

If the suspension settles, then you failed to clock the bushings (mandatory procedure for any ride height changes), the settling is the bushings stretching/tearing to orient themselves to the new position, and you've already ruined them.
