Okay, over the weekend, we installed a set of GoldLine lowering springs on my 2002 accord coupe...

the only problem is, the front still sits at stock height yet the back dropped down.

the springs aren't on backwards and i'm 99% sure they're installed correctly. also i know that they are the right parts. we loosened the sway bar and still, didn't budge...

any ideas why my car is so afraid to be lower?

 

Let the springs settle and then see what happens.

 

what are the speca on the springs? rates, height, diameter?

 

did preload the lower arms when you bolted it back on? cuz if your on stock bushings, you have to jack up the arm to the point where it fully lifts the car off the ground then tighten the lower control arm bolts.

 

I know the goldline drops cars about 2.5 and then sags even worse. My friend has them on his civic.

civic and accords are both two different cars

 

as far as letting them settle, it's been 3 days and i've driven about 300 miles on them and they haven't moved.

morgan, as far as the specs, i'll have to message them to you later.

the drop is supposed to be 1.5 in front and 1.25 in rear. the rear dropped, though.

I didn't do it, a friend did and I wasn't there, I was taking care of his kid. I will ask him, though. He's supposed to be trying to get ahold of a friend of his with the same car that is lowered.

 

wow..i would take the springs out and put the stock ones back in and return them it sounds like you got a set of bunk springs..

 

if you dont find out what the problem is in teh next day or so--i would also recommend pulling them back out
