7th Gen civic sag
 

I just installed skunk2 lowering springs on my 02 civic sedan (getting struts, just waiting untill i can get a good pair insted of buying cheaper ones now) the back has no finger gap and is SLIGHTLY tucked, but my front has a finger and a half or 2 finger gap. im riding on stock 15's. is this normal? or is there something i can do about this?

Did you put the Front ones in the rear?? cuz they front should usually be a bit lower.

RE: 7th Gen civic sag
 

no it was very obvious the front and rear the front springs are very large, and the back, very small. plus if i put the front in the rear wouldent my front be very low and back be high up? the car is level, but i just the wheel tuck in the back and not front looks odd

i kind of doubt the front ones are in the rear seeing as they would not fit. but, maybe you didnt put things back together correctly, take them off and assemble them right. the front ones, i mean. make sure the arrows on the top hats are facing out and that the spring are right side up as well.

i have heard about the 7th gen civics being lower in the back when lowerd, with a 2 inch drop is it possible that this is normal. the shocks are lined up and put together correctly.

they will appear similar though, like mine, in the back i can get a finger in the gap, and in the front i can get just about 2 in the wheel gap, but it will be nothing extreme, the car still looks even, its got the same drop, its just that the way the wheel wells are that make it look different

sorry about the pics, im at work, and took those with my phone. and yes. i know i need rims.

yeah, back looks a little saggy to me, take them bitches back apart. trust me, it sucks, and i know this because ive done it a trillion times.

edit: it has recently come to my attention by someone that you should put everything stock back on, and wait to buy some good struts, then try again for different results

and i concur.

RE: 7th Gen civic sag
 

any opinions on good struts? i hate to take them back apart, but you gotta do what you gotta do. when working on the rears, i didnt really mark them because they appeared to go on anyway. did i f**k up by doing that?
