Coil over sleeves too low.
 

Well I am budget building my DA, so I figured a set of cheap coil overs would do. I never drive it so I dont really care how it rides. I got some KYB G2's. I installed them today and the rear sits so low its on the stops (which are cut) even all the way up. The front and rear springs have no markings as being different. This sucks. I always bought H&R and I now I know why. Any ideas on how to raise the back up? I was thinking of putting a spacer under the sleeve inside the strut. When you drop the sleeve in the strut only half the sleeve is even visible. Any ideas would be appreciated. Should I put the spring on the bottom and the sleeve on the top?... hmm that might work.

g2s suck, every set I have worked with has sucked, just cut your stock springs so they are longer than the coil-over ones and put those on the sleeves...

I think I will buy some drop springs from Tein or H and R...

Probably your best bet, I had the same problem with a cheap set of sleeves that I just couldn't figure out. Front was fine but back was always too low but not as low as yours it seems though.

Just ordered Tein S tech springs. ---- that cheap Ebay coil over crap.

those hardly lower ur car but i guess they ride okay, i kno on some cars they barely lower it like .5 inch

edit: i thought you wanted to buy em hahaha...the s tech's maybe drop your car an inch if that lower than stock. i have progress springs on my civic. i think they lower the car perfectly. almost as good as eibach sportlines

hasty dave. i woulda hooked you up on the skunk2 coilovers for like a pack of bubble gum...... i knew the sleeve looked mad jdm shizort at your house.

ACtually it was the KYB's. I compared them and the KYB has a large recess where the spring sits. Any coil over sleeve type wouldn't have worked. I can just add a busshing but I already have the Teins on order and I can only assume the Ebay coilovers will ride like a bag of -------!
