alright, so tomorrow im hopefully pickin up some eibach sportlines for my teg. now the guy that talked to said that on the dude's car who's springs that they are on, they didnt tuck. his teg is a 99, mine is a 94. Black Paper Diary has the same springs, but his teg tucks, and his is a 95. Is there a difference between years, where the stock height or spring heights are differnt from teg to teg

sorry if that didnt make sense

mines a '97 crack head. I also have koni yellow's...which have an adjustable sprimg seat. BUt if i remember correctly i had to have the fronts all the way up and the rears down, or something like that, to make the ride height level

hmm..hey, do you think that having stock shocks in the front and the agx adjustables in the back would mess up my ride height in front and back? cuz the fronts seem to be a little higher then the back at times..my fucking teg is like sooo retarded it doesnt know when to stay at the right height

Lets see how many ways we can say this...

Shocks have nothing to do with the ride height [UNLESS they have an adjustable perch for the spring]

Shocks do not hold a car up, springs do.

Shocks do not determine the ride height.

Springs determine the ride height, not shocks.

his may tuck cause he has a lower drop, thats all

yeah, but hes saying that this other guy has the same springs as me and his dont tuck, but mine do.



do you think tires would have much to do with it? I have 195/50/15 .

Davison- do you know what wheels the guy has on? If they are anything other than 15's it will probably make a difference.

well yeah, width and size of tires would determine if it will tuck.
was tha other guy on steelies or stocks?
tucking is overated, especially without a camber kit
