has anyone have eiback sportlines on their teg ... cause my friend just got it installed and his back looks lower than his fronts ... just curios if anyone knows what i'm talking about ...

 

YES! I know exactly what you are saying. I have the same problem!

 

how do we go about solving this problem ??? i don't know why they make it like that ... hmm

 

I don't know to tell you the truth. I wonder how myself.. I heard from other people that is it actually even.. but the design of the rear makes it look uneven.. who knows..

 

Double check the front to make sure the spring is sitting 100% on the perch. It'll help a bit.

My friends Type R was like that. We noticed that the front springs came off the perch a bit and we resat the springs, and all was good.

It still sits a little lower in the back, but you cant really notice it.

 

Integras in general have a tendency to do this. If you really want to even it out, and really feel like staying with the Sportlines (vs. GC's), you would probably want to grab some Koni Yellows so you have the ability to even it out.

 

it is because the front wheel well was designed to be bigger and because eibach gave the springs an even drop in height. my pro-kits are like that. it bothered me at first but once it settled a lill bit it was better but it doesn't bother me

 

I currently have Tokico Illuminas in the front and stock in the rear.. Do you think it will even it out if I got some Koni's in the rear?

 

I've heard that some people tend to cut one coil in the front, but i wouldn't knwo I have ground control but both my sisters have eibach sportlines without cutting the front and it looks fine. jus my 0.02

 

all eibach spring kits are like that on integras, not sure why but you get used to it. to the guy above, never cut springs

 

i heard that since the front end is heavier.. and in cornering situations the front end sinks down more causing an issue with rubbing the fender well, seems to make sense. I saw that on the boards somewhere..

suspension shouldn't be for asthetics unless you are all show

 

tru dat tru dat!

that's exactly what i did, i did it 3 years ago and it rides the same as it did before i cut it

 

My friend on his2001 gsr had the sportlines and they settled unevenly so he swapped out the back for another set not sure which kind though. But Ive heard there have been alot of problems like that with the sportlines.

 

my ground controls are like that too

How could you ground controls be like that too? You would just need to ajust them. My sportlines are the same way. The car is actually level, the front wheel well is larger than the rear wheel well, so it is just an illusion.

 

what people also do when they have a drop that looks like the back sits lower than the front is heat treating the springs so that it would give it a lil more of a drop so that the wheel gaps are more even. Some dude who worked at eibach used to do this for our cars at v6p.net. He told me it was like 100 dollars a spring to do so i said forget it cuz i might as well get coilovers.

 

Its not a problem, i like the look on mine, its just that the front wheel well is larger than the back.

You can't. It's the springs, not the car causing this. Everyone should do research on a product before you install it on your car. Every car I've ever seen with Sportlines installed has this "problem". If you do a search on "Sportlines", you'll see that probably half of the threads speak of the car sitting lower in the rear than in the front.
