strut ???

[The BUCKY]

are civic hatch and crx struts diff. like are they longer. i just put a set on my rex with ebay coils and it sits higher lol. i also put a traction bar on it that helps

[AnTi-PooN]

hmmm..... i would think they'd be the same i know that the brake system is different..... did you get the engine runnin yet?

[The BUCKY]

nope just sat it down and the front is like sky high lol

[AnTi-PooN]

lol i replaced that hose yesterday and now it acts like it's going to overheat and still seaps out a little bit i dont know wtf is going on

[bigdare23]

all 89-91 ef struts should be the same

[The BUCKY]

well shit. why is my rex all jacked up and shit lol. the traction bar wouldnt do that would it

[The BUCKY]

help!!!!

[bigdare23]

Damn that funny??? Really doubt the struts would do that. What springs are on the struts? I tried to install aftermarket eg springs on my rex (like a jackass), and it jacked my car up.

[The BUCKY]

ebay coils
the back is lowered alot just the front is whack

[bigdare23]

Damn I'm thinking about it, are those struts new? If your rex struts were worn, the car could of settled and the new strut might of put them back to the orignal high.

(CRXs are jacked up pretty high stock, just look at some of halfwits old pics)

[The BUCKY]

nah i think they are blown infact

Shocks/struts will never cause a car to sit high or low. They only provide damping for the spring force so that the car doesn't bounce all over the place as the suspension returns to equilibrium.

My suspicion is the eBay coilovers are where you should start looking. Ride height will be set based on the settings of the lower spring perch, or coilover collar, and spring rate. Too high of a spring rate for the front could cause the front to sit high. If the coilover collar is too high on the strut body that will also cause the ride height to be too high.

Another thought I had, if the sleeves were swapped front to rear, that could cause a problem, too.

shocks/struts can cause a car to sit higher if they have a longer body on them

ebay coil overs are all the same on all 4 corners. the car has a bigger motor than stock so more weight in the front so it should sit lower. the collar is not to high and the coils are at their lowest setting.

I doubt the traction bar would raise the car since it just replaces the crossmember and attaches to the lca, but never know.

I'll refrain in the future from trying to help if you're going to jump to conclusions. Even the best techs overlook the bascis on occasion.

Oh, and I have no knowledge of your skill level or background, either. I've known enough people who were proficient in one area but completely clueless in others.
