weekend project completed
well i will just roll the back fender and see what that does. thanks for your input. i will let you know if that was or wasn't the problem just incase some one else experence the same problem.

that sounds right, it would push the wheel further out from the car
do you know what the spring rates are?

i am 80% sure they where 40mm

Problem is fixed. at first i was trying to do it with the bird beak plyiears but that was way too hard. then i went around to different shops seeing who could roll the fenders, nobody did. so i ended up doing it the getto way a hammer and a sock. all i did was take of the wheel. and and put the sock over the hammer as not to damage the paint if i slept. and beat the fender line area until it pointed away from the tire. took it for sa spin. drives much better. i heard it rub once but that better than rubbing everytime i took a corner.
tiga10,
What do you mean bouncy? I had tokico HP struts with OEM springs put in, an Accord, and that made the suspension stiffer.
Are you saying that the springs made it less stiff than the stock springs? Or you get less bounce than OEM springs and the springs are stiffer than OEM?

they are a less stiffer than that the oem. like if i am driving down a road that seems smooth. the car will kinda floot as if it is in water. or if the road is ruff. and you don't drive carfull the car will be bouncing alot. does that make sence. the shocks are good. the springs just make the car a little bouncy, then again i haven't really driving in alot of droped cars so i might be wrong. someone correct if i am. thanks.
Well, the only thing I can think of is doing the shock absorber test. You press down on one corner of the car, and then release it. If it bounces up and down more than once, the shocks are worn. However, I don't think this test applies to springs.
Anyway, that doesn't sound right if you feel like you're floating. It should feel more tight through turns and jarring over bumps and hard acceleration. It sounds like the springs are for show and not for go.

I most not be explaining it right. casue they do feel tight around the corners. and when i hitting the spead bumps and stuff (slow of course, they aren't bouncing all over the place i go over it its feels stiff. and i don't really accelerate like i use to i haven't done it since i got the car dropped. I have driven in my boys hatch and he got some coilovers and it feels the same way. so again i might just be describing it wrong. when i say float i don't meen it in a bad way. it rides better than when i had the stock shoks
