Default just installed groundcontrols!

I just installed ground control coilovers on my 97 prelude.The ride is great, not too bumpy yet stiff enough to feel the difference in handeling. the only problem is i set the perch about half way down but the car still looks like stock height! i dunno wats wrong, do they jus need time to settle?

did you use the correct springs for the front and rear? there are different springs rates for each. a friend of mine with a prelude did the same things and had to switch it around.

sounds like you need to lower the collar on the perch some more. thats the whole point of adjustable springs!

the springs will settle about 1/8 to 1/4 inch or so
