4th Gen'ers HELP Suspension Problem
Ive been posting. In the Tech forum and CRXSI90 has been more then Helpful. But, I really need 1st hand Experience from people that have 1st hand experience with their Lude's.
Heres the Link But Ill Sum it up.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=423001
I posted this earlier but there are new facts now.
and Noone tried to help.
I got Maxspeed Coilovers Installed on My Car. I Drove it home that Night.
I immediately Noticed that the Car was Bottoming Out.
I found out that I have no Travel Space. The Car Sits on the ARM.
So I feel everything on the Road and the Car Cannot Drop , even the Coil Is Compressed. THe Arm is holding up the Weight of the Car.
Heres a Few Pictures.
Current Drop on the Car, Notice that the Car is Taller on the Front.
Before Drop.
After Drop
The Car Dropped approx. 3/4 Inches. That Not Nearly Enough to Make the Control arm Hit the Top of the Wheel Weld, Also the Coils are made to drop the Car so that it doesnt hit.
The Shop Replace all the Coilovers and The Arm is Still hitting.
THey said my Shocks are Dead. They Barely Have a little life in them. They Claim that NEW Shocks would Fix the Problem.
But, I know that New shocks wont fix it. Why? Because Shocks Dont Hold the Weight up, The Coils do. Their is a problem in the way the Car is dropping. Something is Holding the Arm up.
What could it be?
Anyone know?
Anyone hAd any Problems Lowering their Cars.
I need feedback so I know what to Look For...
I appreciate if anyone can assist .

They Checked that Already.
The Coils are on Right. CRXSI90 Said it could be that the Fron COntrol arms were put on Reversed, Right to Left , Vice Versa?
Could it Be

Re: 4th Gen'ers HELP Suspension Problem (Diegolude)
the front is the problem is the back.

anyway..i agree that you may have the springs on front/back backward..then wait for them to settle after a few miles of breaking in.
