I installed the RS*R lowering springs(I bought them from G2Guru - Dan ) and tokico blues on my G2 this evening. While I am pleased with the overall outcome, I have a few questions about the setup.
It seems that the front is lower than the rear. I can barely stick 2 fingers between the fender and tire in the front while I can easily stick 3 fingers under the rear. It was supposed to lower the car 1.8" all the way around, I thought.
Is this normal? Will the rear settle more? I drove atleast 20 miles after the install.
If it wont, has anyone cut 1/2 a coil or so from the rear to make them level out. I hate the back being jacked up while the front looks so good.
the springs lower the front more than the back because the front has a higher spring rate. The front has a higher sping rate for a more controled front. also on the stock springs the front is lower than the back.
yea …they mite settle a little bit more but the front will still sit lower than the rear i happen to like when the front sits a little lower …thats how i have my Gc’s set about 2.5-2.75" in the front and 2.0" in the rear …my friend has the rs*r’s on his civic coupe and they did the same thing …they seemed a little to bouncy IMO …how are yours though i never felt them in a DA …
ive never felt them in a DA or DC …but in my friends EG coupe they were more bouncy than my car Ground Controls …me and him both agreed …but i think if he also paired them with adjustable shocks it would help alot …hes on GR2’s …i will admitt that they look great though …
