Hey has anyone had this problem? I just got done installing the eibach pro kit (1.2 drop) on my 95 Accord 2.2 Vtec along with koni reds. The problem is that the rear wheels are tucked in the wheel well and the front has about a inch or more of a gap. I know honda's typically sit lower in the rear but this is way to much. I have all the right part numbers and everything is installed correctly. I'm thinking the perch on the rear koni's is to lower. I'm going to check that tomorrow. Has anyone else had this same problem or have any sugestions? I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow.

I still think you installed them wrong. You've put the fronts in the back and the backs in the front. Sorry dude...

Nope thats not possible, unless you're a complete moron. I've check the part numbers after I installed them just to double check.

 

hey nick i think he is callin you a moron...hahahahaha...

 

Damn. I have H&R Sports on mine, 1.75F/1.5R, and it isn't nearly as low as your Eibachs...maybe they shipped you the Sportline springs instead??

 

Yeah I thought the same thing about the sportline. But the sportline are red and my springs are metalic black. I've been trying to contact eibach but they only have one tech support line.

 

it sounds normal to me.
it looks lower on rear..but it really isn't.

 

Ok, I just checked koni's website. Koni Specials(reds) 8040-1176 have to grooves for the perch. The lower one is minus 15mm and the top is plus 25mm from stock. Currenlty the ones I installed where on the bottom groove. So if I move it to the top groove I should gain 40mm or 1.6 inches! Looks like I found my problem. Does anyone know how to change the groove the perch sits on?

 

Hey I actually kinda noticed the same thing... I have Pro-Kits w/ KYB AGX. The back end seems just a little lower than front, but not by a whole lot. I just installed mine a little over a week ago.

i think everyone has the same confusion but lemme try to clear this up a little. If you look at a stock accord with no suspensin mods whatsoever, the front seems to be a little higher than the back, which means that front has bigger fender gap. This is because the wheel well is made bigger in the front than the back. Therefore, the front seems to be higher. Now, when you swap springs, this effect stays the same. Front has more fender gap. This is normal. Back will look lower nomatter what if u drop same amount, but thas just the way it is.
