i was tired of having my car lowered, even though it wasnt that low... so i put some stock Si springs on it. I knew it was going to high, since I have had ITR springs on before, but didnt think it would be this high!




I think it's higher in the front, looks like i actually have positive camber...


any suggestions on what to do?

 

try getting some lowering springs?

 

Put a motor in it...

 

i didnt want it lowered, thats why i switched. I guess you mean just the front, but i really dont want to do it again. I have to say it's kind of nice having it like this, since train tracks and speed bumps got nothing on me now. but im sure its not good to have it like that either

 

lol, that is a monster truck. Lower that ****!!

 

anyone think it may actually settle to "stock" height? and no, im going to lower it, i just did that

wow, that looks so damn ugly

 

looks like crap. but HR makes OE springs.. which retain stock height but are stiffer and handle flat. check em out

 

Doesn't look like the spring is fully compressed. Have the springs and shocks ever been separated?

first time i saw eg seats in a coupe..looks good

thanks, i hate ek seats... anyway, im sure they were compressed, i asked the guy i bought them from and he said they came straight off an SI, never touched.

 

isnt it because the si spring rates have havier spring rates in the front due to the motor
thats why ur car sits so high cause its sohc?

look in to the oe springs from H&R

yeah, thats pretty much why, I had ITR springs before and they looked fine, so i didnt think it would look like this

 

From what I know ITR springs will make most cars other than ITR's sit higher.

no way...coilovers on lowest setting for shure

haha j-k

get coilovers ground controls are alright and you can decide how high or low you want it every day of the week

 

oh man...thats high.

You gotta find a happy medium between 4x4 and slammed. I live in an area where the roads are not so kind to lowered cars but generally if the tires an inch above the fender you shouldnt have any problems.

I have an ef sitting in front of my house thats sits that high stock and it will never be lowered, but thats because I use it for a stock class autox vehicle on occasion.

If you dont want to chance it with springs (not knowing exactly what ride height youll get) grab some coilovers and set it up the way you want it. If RR tracks give you a hard time its probably not due to the ride height but your shocks.

 

you must have been bored

well, thanks for the comments, it feels like driving a mustang, but not really. anyway, a motor swap is kinda out of the question, although i know that's why it's so high. but i need suggestions on how to make the springs possibly settle a little lower. as i said, i really dont want to change the springs again because its a pain in the ***. so i am trying to make do with the way it is.
