Default why does my eibach sportlines drop so low?

i got the sportlines with kyb agx struts...the front tires are tucked in, and the rears are right below the fenders. could it be the weight of my car (i'm using the sportline springs intended for a stock 88-91 civic)? my 90 civic si with b16 weighs in at about 2400 lbs...

My friend's 98 Eclipse GS-T dropped really low with Eibach Sportlines too. A lot lower than what they said it would be.

Hey, not to be an ******* or anything.. 15.1 isn't blazing fast for a 90 Civic Si with a B16 in it. My girl's 00 Civic Si runs 15.1 and it weighs almost 300 lbs more. What's your 60' time? You should be running faster than that.

haha...man, i KNOW 15.1 aint fast...i was just kiddin doode...yea i know my car's supposed to be faster...but what do you expect with a 12 year old motor? i guess its not gifted like others... my 60 ft sucks coz i don't get any traction...i need better tires and better alignment coz i spin out all the way up to 4th gear

Yeah, it's a weight issue. My friend's hatch dropped noticeably lower in the front with Sportlines after dropping in a B18.

hmmm, sometimes it is the mount points on the struts. i had the same prob. onn my 91 Civic EX with b16a, and I thought it was the springs - no - it was the koni strut that had mount points too low...kina sucks and car is way too low hitting bottom on lots of things..
