im gonna be installing a set of these tommorow. hopefully the rear lca bushing isnt seized . anyway, just wondering what shock settings you guys are using and if there is anything else i should know before i do this.

 

I have mine on the hardest although I do want to soften it up now.

 

Full soft in rear, 3-4 in front.

 

Just helped put some on who00knows car. (Thank god we finally got it done Mike!!!) I'm not sure how they are set, but just make sure you allow yourself 10 times as long as you think it should take. It took us 2 full nights (from like 6-10) to get swap his old setup with the Tien setup (off of a second car with 3 guys working at 1 time) Should go right in, but some of the bolts will be seized..just count on it. We had like 5 on the front/back of 2 cars be seized up like crazy. This was stuff that had been off before as well. Spray some knockerloose or something on them now and let them sit for a while before you try to break them loose!

 

installed mine a couple weeks ago.. dc2 spec on my 92 hatch... Tried every settings on the coilovers...
the softest setting is comfy.. the hardest one is stiff, i could feel every bump on the freeway.
right now im on 4 - front and 8 - rear. (1 being the stiffest)..
DC2 SS on 92-95 hatch is

wow. thanks for the info guys. if i get that knockerloose stuff, will i be able to crack em with your average 3/8" ratchet, or do i need a breaker bar or even a gun ? also, will i have to replace any bushings or bolts?

2 full nights! n00bs! haha

 

Ive set mine 6 up front and 4 in rear..I see no reason to go full stiff since I have to drive it back and forth to work.. but of course when I did go 10 front and 8 rear for a few weekend runs.. it made a big difference...of course if u get the RA or REs it's even stiffer

 

with dc2 SS on ur civic, how low can u go since the springs are stiffer?

 

I wish I could afford those beazies.

hahahaah. Yeah thats what we thought, handtools own. Thanks sean for all the help, Im putting all new bolts in today during lunch at work.

 

I'm running dc2 spec on a eg and I'm running 8 front and rear for city driving. 1 being stiffest. I have a 1 1/2 finger gab ride height.

If you wanted a mushy ride would you have gotten Tein SS's. Well maybe. Anything like 12 or so gives me a bouncy feel on the highway.

 

Stock is like 6 right, 1 being the stiffest? I'm asking cuz I'm having mine installed tomorrow.

oh.. dont worry.. i'll be low enough..
mine have no gap front and rear and its still can go 1-2 more inches..

actually you can go lower with the dc2 setup..
