[Kevykev]

[chaseamundo]

strut perches?
and hell yea its low.
i need to get the back end up a lil. idk how i will though yet

[btldzc]

Wow! Thats way to low for being as high as it will go....on da reallllllll...

[chaseamundo]

Wow! Thats way to low for being as high as it will go....on da reallllllll...


you know what,,,,,i totally agree....
any suggestions

[btldzc]

do you have the front on the rear and the rear on the front?

[NOCLUE]

Looks real good how it feel

[dabuilding]

damn man it looks good but the back is a lil low did u use the springs that were on the rsx

[chaseamundo]

do you have the front on the rear and the rear on the front?

i havebig springs in front with big sleeves
and small in the back with small sleeves

[csmiths]

i dont see why your sitting so low with the coils all the way to the top, something cannot be right here, my front is all the way down and my rear is about half way, but idk, maybe ground controls are drastically different on em1 than db1

[btldzc]

i havebig springs in front with big sleeves
and small in the back with small sleeves


I cant remember how it goes. Its been a long time since ive used coilovers. ANYONE?

[chaseamundo]

yea thanks for you guys help.
i need to figure it out bc i didnt notice how low the back was until someone pointed it out

[dabuilding]

looks pretty good tho man u need to come out to the varsity sometime since u live so far now

[chaseamundo]

i know....i will plan on it.... fo sho

[aaronfelipe]

damn son. Might want to order an oil pan just to have...

[99hatch]

The back of the car in its entirety doesnt look so low. It really just looks like it at the wheel wells. Do you have any aftermarket shocks on there? Or is it a 1 piece coilover?

[NOCLUE]

if it dont scrub then leave it as is

[csmiths]

i think the bigger ones are supposed to be in the rear, but you might have gotten the wrong ones?

[wanggsticky]

are you sure you put the front coils in the front ?

[X_99Jetta_X]

wow that is kinda low.
but nice SI.
i think you got them switched.idk for sure cause i never used coils before.

[BlackDubs]

Looks good. But something is not right with the coils. Might be for a different car?

[boostedb16]

i ran into the same thing with skunk2 coilover's. i put them on all the way up and i had to take my side skirt's off and then i could not move it at all. someone sold some for a crx or something and they were way to short.

[tdurr]

what were the specs on the springs? jack it up*if u can* and write them down. The springs are prob too short.

[MINI]

Looks great, even after the 1 millionth time seeing a civic slammed.

[OMG Its Platz]

Wow... Looks like the civic up the road. And the one around the block and the one I saw going to work and the one at the mall and the one at the drive through and the one on jimmy carter and the one at QT and the one in my apt.....


Must I go on?

[AV8ter]

You have a system in the car or something? This pic with a full tank of gas?

Kevina system i could see but i dont think a tank of gas would make that much of a difference.

[chameleon30038]

well good to know i'm not the only one.....mine sat that low when in had me g/c on and they were also at the highest setting. I they were installed correctly...wierd!

[rbf]

GC's = best.

+ you got extended tophats?.

[1d10t]

no offense, but Id go back to stock. It'll save your shocks and oil pan etc. Plus there is something wrong. I used to have an EK too ( before Hondas got whored out) with sleeve overs. At the top of the sleeve should be higher than stock.

That just looks stupid, and ruins you suspension geometry. That car would handle better stock than the way it sits now. so unless you plan on driving low and slow south of the border, go back to stock until you can get the right stuff

[steedracer]

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Wow... Looks like the civic up the road. And the one around the block and the one I saw going to work and the one at the mall and the one at the drive through and the one on jimmy carter and the one at QT and the one in my apt.....

[toxxxic]

[Z0_o6]

-HONDABUILDER- yea its still up for sale but the urge to tune runs strong haha

-HONDABUILDER- yea its still up for sale but the urge to tune runs strong haha

[Brian*]

I like it, but it would look better with the ass up another inch or so

[Sammich]

pretty sure i'm not feeling this slammed civic...sorry man

[chaseamundo]

i bet it rides like complete ass, huh?! lol


nope actually rides kind of smooth... haha
but ill get to the bottom of this :thinking:

[K20Z1]

u traded rsx for this em1????!??!?!?!

[amandDA]

looks g

[egibbs123]

nice...

[csmiths]

GC's do sit this low raised up.



no they dont, not for the right car. the rears on my db are a half height, and fronts are all the way down.



these might be for the wrong car, just check the numbers on the shocks and find out, did you buy them new or used?

[chaseamundo]

no they dont, not for the right car. the rears on my db are a half height, and fronts are all the way down.

i got them used.
ill check it out.

[MrBoostedCRX]

looks pretty damn good man, ive always thought that blue beats any other color out here

[chaseamundo]

i always loved black or white. but this "electric blue pearl" really grew on my. the paint glistens with beauty haha

[MrBoostedCRX]

hell yea man, i say dont switch out the grill, i like the original one with the honda emblem, all you need is foglights and thats a badass car

[Truegiant]

did you put the coilover in on the right side? the coilover is mounted below the spring right? I have run GC, skunk2, megan, etc.. and I have never run into that before. I dont think I got them that low by just using the spring without the actual coilover just for photos.

[rbf]

i got them used.
ill check it out.
either way car looks sick..rid of the sagging call it a day. :goodjob:

[chaseamundo]

haha thanks man,
i dont want to cut corners so im going to find out whats up and try and fix it =]

[Brian*]

It looks pretty good, but I would not call it slammed, that bizh is HOUSED out man!

[chaseamundo]

haha you crazy....
alright imma call it housed from now on lolz

[rbf]

Yea never cut corners that tends to be a problem haha.Never play w/your own safety.

[VIP Style]

clean, just another civic.....
