I have a 94 cx hatch and i installed sprint lowering springs that i was told are 2" drop. After i installed i noticed that the back almost kinda tucks and the front is higher up in the air than the back. Usually in my understanding the front is usually lower after lowering if anything. I used stock struts and the ride is crappy but does handle decent. Is there any specific reason that the rear might be lower and if i would buy some agx adjustables would they blow out quick or are they made to stand being lowered?

Thanks guys

 

did u make sure u put the fronts on the front and the rears on the rear?

 

are the front springs in the back and the back in front

I HOPE he didnt

 

Well i think the springs only go on a certain way , i don't think i could have put them on the wrong struts , the coils are different sizes and are meant to go into certain grooves in the struts right?

 

did they not say F or R on the springs anywere?

 

I dont see how you could POSSIBLY screw it up.

They look different and the front ones have the little bolt holes where you bolt the brake line thing back on ..

 

I know this sounds stupid...as a matter a fact REAL stupid.

But are your tires all the same size?

 

LOL!

What would be hilarious, was if that was actually the problem lol

 

I dont know if this is for all lowering springs but from the cars that I have dropped, it took a week or two for the front springs to settle in since they are a stiffer spring rate than the rear. So wait a couple of weeks and see what happens, it should lower some more and settle in.

 

same thing happened to me with my rsr race springs.
i got the integra spring rates which made it a whole lot stiffer to support heavier b-series motors. my rear was tucking too while the front had about a 2 finger gap and looked nasty as hell.
if you got integra spring rates with a d series motor than that's the reason why the front is higher than the back.
other than that i don't have a clue...

 

the rear springs should have the same code number like 3547 and the fronts have different code numbers like 3567 and 3568, just as an example. they are written on the coils itself check it and tell us wsup.

 

You should'nt go but the gap in the whell wells as the front has a bigger wheel well than the rear. Well for a civic it's like that. Although I've only seen your prob with neuspeed race.

 

sounds like u put the front on the back and the back on the front... or maybe its just the springs have a defect.. or sprint messed up and sent u 4 back springs......

 

its like that on my 99 civic coupe, and i know for a fact taht the fronts are on the fronts, and rears on rears. a lot of other people on this board have reported the exact same thing. right now after settling, i have a 2 finger gap in the back, and a 2.5 finger gap in the front.

o yah, comptech sport springs and kyb agx

 

Here is a pic , this was the day i did the springs , they were used , not new. Its hard to tell from the pics how bad the difference is , ill get another pic tomorrow if i can.

In case the pics dont load the direct link is http://community.webshots.com/...h.jpg

 

lol you prob reversed it...

True. The shape of the wheel well is a little deeper up front, and it sometimes appears lower in the rear, when in fact it's not. Similar with 90-93 Integras as well.

 

about 4 years ago i had put sprint springs in my civic. the back was lower than front and i did put the springs in right. they never did settle any lower in the front and i ended up getting different springs.

 

is it phisicaly lower in the back? if they are 2 inch all the way around the back will look lower(fender gap) then the front. i always make the front lower to make up for this. it has to do with the fender sizing. the back is smaller than the front because the front has to accomidate the wheels when they turn.
i could be wrong but measure to see.
oyy yeah when i ordered my sprint springs they were 2.5 up front and 2.25 in the rear.

 

Here is the pic u tried to post:



Are the springs red in color? I think they might be eibach sportlines?? I have the same problem

-P

 

drive it around for awhile, see if the springs settle in.

 

Hmm something didnt go right. usually its the driver side that is lower than the passanger side.

 

Im pretty sure if i were to measure from the gound to the bottom of the car the rear would be physically lower , though when i first put them on it looked more even , after i put bigger wheels on which i have now its a big difference. I don't want my car lilke crushed but i do want it nice and low , whats a good brand of springs that lower the car evenly?
