Default Eibach Springs - Which for 1991 EX Civic

I have a 91 EX and put on the Eibach Pro series springs with Koni yellows whcih was only supposed to drop like 1.4 " but instead got a THREE(!!!) inch drop. I checked and the box and springs are both for a civic and the Pro series - Has anybody else had that problem?

I got a caster kit so it rides flat but ground clearance on driveways is a bear - any comments or suggestions????

i could be wrong but the think the addition drop was from ur shocks
i read some where that eibach pro series will work with stock shocks and wont void any warranty

Trust me, raise that bitch back up. I have a B-series in my car, and i smashed the tranny, oilpan, and downpipe on one of those metal road-work slabs. True, your engine isn't gonna be as low unless you have a swap, but its not worth the money. I was out almost a grand, and thats with me and a friend doing all the work.

Yea, I might have to go with another spring. I asked Neuspeed but they either have ~240 lb. (loaded) springs or like ~ 595 lb. (way too high). I want something in the middle like 350-375....

my 88 crx si had sportlines on it and it wasn't slammed. it sat pretty low though. only time that i hit driveways was when i wouldn't get the car angled enough. go here and look at how it sat. http://www.geocities.com/feluster2
