Swap Dropped My Car 1/2 Inch

[Smooth_Imports]

Before my swap with my stock suspension my car used to just make it over the curb. Now with the swap and the stock suspension my car hits the curd. So i'm selling my gr-2's and sportsline springs to B18EK, because it was a perfect drop with my 17's. Now i'm going to be rolling on 15's and the car is heavery up front. Thinking of gettting some KYB AGX and some Pro kit springs this time around.,

im sure you expected this to happen though. I think dan said the same shit happened to him.. I'll have to swap my current springs out if I swap, im at 2.5 in front 2.25 in the rear. But im ALMOST!!!!!!!! tucking my 15's lol. Good luck with your next setup bro..should look sweet.

yeah i mean think about it, heavier engine, more weight = more drop. My car used to sit higher in the front and a little bit lower in the rear. Now its about equal.

I saw that in the CL album I think, If not it was corey's cant remember.. I think that shit happens when they make the spring to fit all 92-95 civics w/o making the spring to fit a specific model...

Thats just gay manufacturing..Tokico's new line for 2005 is gonna do this for all specific models and gens, rather than just "Civic 92-00"

werd cause they need to start doing that because different models need different spring rates.

well i was fortunate enough to buy eibach sportlines for my first car. My old CRX 2 inch drop, hella low and bouncy but loved them.

This time around i dont know how i screwed up.
