I purchased the Tein Basic Street damper for JHPUSA. i had it installed by my mechanic and the car sits too low in the front. it is raised up all the way but the front two tires are still tucking under the fenders. I just tok a pic of the wheel once i get it up ill post it, but for now if anyone has any answer for me i would greatly appreciate it. This is as high as it goes, meaning the front two coils are raised to its max.

Bump

 

installer error. take them out and see if he forgot some peices or put it together wrong

 

yup, something went wrong during installation. Take it back to your mechanic and tell him to re-do it. You could also check it, lift your car and take a look at both front supension components. Good luck

 

would rear springs in front and front in rear cause it or i would definetly know they were put in wrong if they were backwards.

 

Damn Im thinking about buying some, Bump

 

i never let anyone work on my car but me. mechanics dont know **** about cars half the time, they just know how to replace things that are broken

The front springs are thicker and a little taller. Maybe yours are reversed. Maybe not.

yes the thicker springs are going to be the front and the smaller thinner one's are going to be the back.

 

Thank you all for your help and responses, im going to my mechanics today after work to see if i can finally figure out this problem. if it is on the right way ima take my camera and actually film it and see if i can get it up here and maybe you guys can see it better behind the actuall wheel

 

the 2 on the left go int he front the 2 on the right go on the rear . i seriously doubt he put the rearin the front and visversa. im possible .

 

i have the same problem with a buddies basic for a eg, the fronts perches are all the way up and the car is still tucking. everything was installed by me to the tee from teins instruction booklet.


correction, tein packaged the kit wrong and didnt have a diagram for what spring went on what shock and the had the rears on the front and vise versa. the car rides alot better.

If the same thing happend to you then its most likely that, the springs are on wrong. Never the less im off to Cuba's shop tomarrow to fix my brakes, which every time i step on the pedal, almost go right throug the fire wall... so im going to tell him to check out dem springs. thanks alot your the Sh*t
