dropping the car today on the eibach kit i picked up for a good price.

very simply put.. the strut mount wont fit on to the new spring..

ps. this is the front we're having issues with

could i have just received the wrong part #

and yes, big springs up front.. so i dont have them swapped...

any help is appreciated.

-matt-

 

nvm... apparently i had them swapped anyway...

never had small springs up front before..

 

now get it aligned- if the camber is less than neg 1.5 degrees
just set the toe and let it go

 

i use camber kits for peice of mind anyway..

can anyone explain why the springs for this car are smaller on engine side?

i sat scratching my head for a while at this... if i remember right "its been a while" the springs on both my accords were wider in the front and smaller/more coiled in the back..

 

its usually the ones with the coils more closer together and thicker go to the front. gl with the project and post some pics when done!

 

we got the front done no problem after wasted time eating and trying to fit on the rear springs to the front strut lol..

so fronts done today.. and tomorrow we'll get the back done in an hour or less..

so its ridin dragster for the night lol

 

lol



you must've faceplam'd when you figured it out.. lol

 

hey-I remember discussing this same thing with jjashaa a couple of weeks ago..

glad you got it figured out.

 

i was 100% positive i had it all right.. and im sitting there comparing part numbers and calling eibach... it was a mess.. all i had to do was reach over and grab the other pair of springs.

it didnt help that i was back seat installing.. i was supposed to be watching and learning so i could drop the TL lower later on but i made matters worse by screaming ITS THE BIG ONES from the lawn chair and beer filled ice chest..

oh well.. i took the seats out

pics later
