Man i really never thought this day would come when i said that my car was too low. Previously i had a 2.5 inch drop with the factory shocks and it was at a good level. Now that i put the springs back on, i put some shocks on and the thing is even lower. The tires tuck in quite a bit now and i still have negative camber on the front with a camber kit(1.5 and 1.6 degrees). Now after only having the springs on for about 3 hours i want to get some different ones. The shocks are botoming out right now with this current setup

What do you guys think, 1.75-2 inch drop would make it better?(shocks not bottoming out, and camber problem fixed?

Argh im getting so damn frustrated with this not one damn thing ever can go the way i want it.

What kind of shocks do you have? The only way to fix your camber problems are a 1.5" drop or less. I have the pro-kits and my camber is off a tenth of a degree so anything more will really be pushing it. The 1.75-2 drop will help you shocks from bottoming out but not your camber.

I still have my H&R sport springs that are 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the back. I was asking $100 plus shipping or we can work out a deal. PM me if interested

I've got illuminas for my shocks. I do have a camber kit on the front, however it's not adjusted correctly becase the guy i had do the job didnt have a tool that could reach the bolts to adjust it. I was thinking about getting some sportlines or something along those lines.

sportlines will keep you just about as low. Well maybe not on a 2.2 but my 3.0 went down nearly 3"

dennis

Neuspeed sports will probably be a good drop for what you're looking for.

This is just great, I decided to get different springs but now it’s pointless. As I was pulling into my driveway, I started to turn the wheel all of the sudden I heard a weird sound and then it sounded like something was rubbing. After I parked I got out to take a look and my drivers side front looked like it dropped down about an extra inch all of the sudden. When I turned the wheel all the way the fender now rests on the tire. I wonder what happened, either the spring broke, shock blew or something else. I’ve spent so much money on this crap and now it looks like I’m going to have to spend more…except now it is going back to stock and I am not touching one more thing on this car to modify it in anyway. Now since I don’t have anything to compress the spring to put it back on the factory shock I have to go to a shop and have them do it…if I can even drive.
Oh yea, I only drove my car about 50 miles before this happened.
The hell with this shit im done.

its cause you got tokicos. i've said it before, those bitches lower it an extra inch.

gdubb

any tokicos? Man i have pro kits and my car sits at least an 1" lower all the way around then what Ive seen on other prokits and damn near tucks in the back. I have tokicos.

r u serious? I went to this shop and they couldn't believe how low my car is with the sportlines...They said its alot lower then it should be, and i got tokicos also!

Epoc

is it possible that i blew the shock out though, and that is why it sank down lower on the drivers side front?

JLai

Take pics. Its also possible the front hasn't settled completely yet and the driver's side settled cause you sit on the left side.

Epoc

i had these spring on my car for about a year before i took them off, so i know they settled. When i made a left turn onto my street it was fine, 20 feet later a made a left turn into my driveway and i herd a werd soud and then it sounded like something was rubing thats when i saw it dropped down an extra inch all of the sudden when i got out to look at it.

just bump out the money and get bags or cylinders man thats what i'm going to do......oh and to the post about you cant fix the camber if its dropped past a certain amount of inches you can fix it you just have to buy a different kit then he has my civic was dropped nearly 3 inches and my camber was fixed and i know becuase i have an uncle that did the shyt for me so it can be done

Epoc

well, i went back today and found out why it sank lower on one side. Even though he cut part of the inner fender out, on the driver side he cut a little bit more, the control arm was still resting on the inner fender just barely, after hitting some bumps, it actually went into place and then it was in the correct height. Now for my setup i have the factory shocks in the front with the springs and it raised it up because it sits on the bump stop. The front is at the same hight now that the back is with the springs and illuminas. I think it looks better this way now. At least i didnt have to go back to the stock height
