i just installed a set of ground controls with integra spring rates on my hatch today and when i was doing so i lowered them all the way down so i can adjust them after i get them all on. After i lowered down my car i was expecting the car to be dropped low but to my surprise there was gaps all around like 1 finger gap in front and 2 finger gap in the rear. I double checked my work to see what the deal was but everything seemed to be right. Could it be because they are new and need to break in?

 

thats possible...but the gappage sounds right

or its possible that because the integra is heavier the spring rates are higher so the drop isnt as severe

 

what rate and length are the springs?

Sounds like you have really tall springs. Like 8" or taller.

I guess you wont be able to go lower even if you wanted to.

 

Ordered a set of custom rate springs from GC. First went with 7" all the way around, but changed it today to 8". Frank at GC said a 7" spring might be a little to low for what i want to accomplish. What custom lengths does everyone run?? For a 94 coupe, pair of 450 and 550 7" or 8" so i can swap and tune.

 

i have 7" springs on my coupe.

you messed up or something. i can drop my car another 2" from my current finger of gap all the way around.

8" 380 / 7" 450 rates with koni sp3s.

did you cut the bumpstops?

 

What size rubber are you running. I have 215/45/16 but going to run 225/50/14 for the track. How low are you running. PM me if you could.

 

found out why it was high in the rear, its because i left the stock dust shield. i removed them and now theyre fine..thansk everybody

good thing you realized that before you drove too much-those things will beat the hell out of your coilover sleeves if left in for very long.
