just installed H&R race springs on my 96 hatch. i bought a set of used springs so they should'nt settle. my friend has the same springs on his EK but the tires are tucked. mine has a 1 finger gap. is there any way i can make mine a little lower?

 

maybe he's running different shocks.

 

do shocks really make a difference?

 

koni yellows add like a .5 inch drop, right?

yup... Koni's can add .5" drop

 

I have Neuspeed Race springs (used). Had them on for like 4-5 Months now and I

have them almost tucking. But I am riding on blown stock shocks and 14"

steelies. Also let time go by they will sag some more cause my sure did. When

lowering my car it was 2" drop all the way around now with or after riding with 5

ppl in my car the other day, it has lowered 2.25" all the way around. Sorry but

just posting my .02, so I hope that helps.

I bought my neuspeed race springs used and they settled in quite a bit. Just give them some time.

 

are the koni yellows the only shocks that provide a little more drop? what about KYB AGX or tokico illuminas? i thought since there are settings on them, that'll effect the drop somehow.

 

did u cut the bumper stops, you might be riding on them. ??? 98ctr

 

Did you remember to cut the bump stops. I have the H&R races also and I cut two of the top ribbed sections off (basically cutting them in half) and I dont have any wheel gap.

 

yeah, the bumpstops are cut. any other advices?

 

how low is the front comparing to the rear?

both are about the same. 1 finger gap. except for the rear passenger...it's about 2 finger gap.

 

raise the car up and make sure that the spring is seated right. You should be able to turn the spring clockwize untill it seats properlly. That might be your proble. 98ctr

 

everything is seated properly. how can i get the rear passenger even?

 

That's an odd problem. Koni yellow actually have a few height settings, the entire perch comes off and you can change it to like 3-4 heights.

I had H&R on my CRX long ago, but it left like 2 finger gap on the front and 1 in the rear, I ran it on KYB AGX struts and stock structs. Resulted in the same height.

Despite the new or used springs, the height should settle. It's not just the springs that sag a bit, the other parts in the car also need time to settle. You may notice your car is a little taller after you jack it up to work on it, it's the same idea.

One wheel gap is larger than the others... hmmm not sure on this one. Go have the car aligned? If the arms on that one corner is significantly out of alignment it could cause it to have a "different height."

I have H&R race on my EK hatch, and it tucks the tires all the way around! But, i have a prob, mine is too low, it already put the upper control arms through the strut towers, so go figure! I'm thinkin about gettin H&R sport springs this summer!
Oh, and i'm using stock struts!
