Im in the middle of a GC install right now...ive run into a couple small problems. the biggest one is that...with teh perch pretty much all the way down the car is still at stock height.

I have only installed the front drivers side coil (on stock shocks for now). Its on the 4th thread from the bottom. after i took the car off the jack its sitting at stock ride height.

Is this normal? Its pretty high up..about 3.5 finger gap. Some friends of mine said I wont see a difference until i install all 4 corners. But I honestly dont see why that would help any.

Please help, thanks...


Also..do i have to cut anything other than the bumpstop? ive cut it in half..dunno if I have to cut anything else.

(i dont have directions)

 

There are some slight differences between the DC2 and EH2. I switched my AGX/GC combo over from my GSR to my hb and it did sit pretty high. I ended up lowering the front about another .5 inch.

 

ah.... do you know if i need to cut anything when installing them? i bought them used and didn't get directions.. I have all the urethane pieces (ordered new from GC)..

 

You should be able to dump it until the tires scrape the upper fender well.

Install all 4, if it's still like that, you messed up something, somehow.

 

I cut the bumpstops in half on mine. Some people would say not to cut it but having half a bumpstop is way better than none.

 

bumpstops have no affect on height

 

There isnt any reason for that that i could logicaly think of unless they sent you like crv coilovers lol, i really dont know...
I have a 95 coupe and when i have my coilovers at hafl(teg spring rates) its about 1 inch lower than stock and i can dump it to where the tire is tuckin...

 

this is killing me..

do i have to cut the rear lower cup on the strut? or can I leave it..

 

dont cut anything besides the bumpstop, cut it about in half. make sure the dust covers are off the shock also. but do all 4 corners before you do anything else....

No.

Read the damn directions.

This is really not a hard thing to do.

 

i dont have directions.
