brainfart.......

longer ones go in front?? my friend got some cheap aerospeed coilovers...

the shorter coilover say 500p on them, and the longer ones say 400p (which probably dont mean nothing).

the longer ones go up front?

 

My rear springs are shorter. I run 425 front 600 rear.

 

hmm.... well we put the longer ones in the fron and well no hieght difference at allll.. and they ride real bumpy. ima put the shorter once in the front to see whats up. but what do you expect they are aerospeed.

 

IMO, a spring's a spring. The difference is in spring rate and whether they hold that rate (and shape) over time.

Don't attribute a bumpy ride to them being "arospeed's". Attribute it to his shocks not being able to handle the higher spring rates. On my car (93 hatch) I need longer springs in the front than I do in the rear.

 

he just called me and told me he has no susp at all... every thing is bumpy as hell..... i am going to try to switch the coilovers... should i worry about those rubber stops?? i have installed coilovers many times on integras.. this is a 91 accord, no difference. its the first time this has happened.

 

I would definitely leave some bumpstop in there. If it's lowered a lot then you might want to cut them some, but I'd never run without them entirely.

I've never worked on an accord either.

 

hmmm ok, ill check it out tomorow.. thanx fer the help tho.

 

its quite possible the springs are so stiff as to accomodate a 4" drop that the factory shocks are not up to the task of controlling them....

I know this is true...when I got my integra...it had arospeed coil-overs on 4 stock, blown shocks! 350 for tokico HP kit was the best $$$ i evAr spent!!!

 

possibly, he has had those shocks on there since well ever.. i instaled everything correctly. i will try tomorow morning to put the shorter ones in front and see if there is any difference.. i went for a ride tonight and man, this thing is bumpy..
