Pics up ASAP of the process, it only took 3 hours lol. The ride is incredible, I'm very happy and satisfied.
Now though, I really hate the way the car sits. Its perfectly level which means the front has tons of wheel gap(3 fingers of space) and the back doesn't at all(1.5 fingers of space). I need an actual working description of the pinch fork mod if anyone has pics for me
And on another good note, my exhaust is getting made next week.
PICS on pg. 2!

Here's the link to the How To but the pics dont work.

that's odd, my hatch has a noticable forward slant/dive, with no finger space up front and about 2 1/2 fingers in the rear (with sprint springs on all 4 koni's)
Really? Mine is the exact opposite. It looks almost dumped in the back lol. It really looks kind of odd. idk what the deal with that is. Ill have pics soon.Originally Posted by knarg
mine was the same i just cut a link off my front eibachs and problem sloved didnt affect the ride wat so ever stiff and smooth ride...

Still running that setup?
Yea still runing it i want to change to Ground Controls and Tokicos thou....I mean what i got its good but i just want a little stiffer my Gr-2s can only do so much....

I had gr-2s with my sprints, I blew the living hell out of them though.
Thats crazy....My shit still holding im surprise with the 3 years i had em in and i went to Edingburg tx, then from there to Iowa and here to washington and roads were fucked up....bottom out like 2 times still fine...lol

I have Tokicos and H&R's on an 89 Sedan.
It seems to sag in the rear compared to the front totally dependant upon the level of the surface and whatever you have in the rear.
Otherwise it does seem to level out if you don't have hardly any weight in the rear. Bad for guys with large audio systems though.
Whats weird is, when I had my gr-2s on it was lower in the front. A lot lower. I had like almost no wheel gap up there, it was all in the back
Anybody ever use the Intrax set? Link
I was thinking about getting a set, but i havent seen anyone with them or even talk about em. Its not a big drop, so maybe thats why. Ya'll think GR-2's would be reliable with a 1.7/1.6 drop?
Cool. You got them done in pretty good time too.The tokicos are definately worth the price. Im running them on my sprints and they handle pretty well. Yeah my hatch is way lower in the back compared to the front also
thats what they use on g1 legends over on A-L and herd good things about them and there running them with gr-2s

a lot of spring sets make the front look higher simply because the wheel wells in the front have more gap naturally
luckily my sportlines seem to have taken the wheel gap into account cause the car sits slightly tilted slightly forward
Ccord, my GR-2s even handled my drop well for about a week(they were years and years old) I could imagine how well they'd do with a slight drop and brand new. I'd say go for it if you aren't opting to get a set of Tokicos. I can't even tell you how much I love those things though.
You have the same problem too Bullard? I might just cut one ring off my front springs to fill the gap until I can get GC's. I have the same setup as you, and it handles/rides like a dream.
be careful cutting springs. look into the cut fork mod if u can't handle the gap
also realize the shocks will settle so don't go crazy just yet
look at my sig theres no gap just cut a link off mark and cut and paint so it wont rust and it looks like it was that way in the first place

thats why i like my setup the 00 civic coilovers needed a lil mod to fit in the rear so my rear sits higher then the front even with the perches slammed lol
setup is tokicos with 00civic drop zone sport coilovers

I like the way your car sits geddy, I'd just want the back lower for me. If the front of mine was like that I'd be more than happy
I would do the fork mod if there were pictures. I have no idea what they are doing to make that work lol.be careful cutting springs. look into the cut fork mod if u can't handle the gap
also realize the shocks will settle so don't go crazy just yet
Oh man if they settle the back of my car will be slammed as shit haha.
I'll take pictures of my forks when I get a chance, but it probably wont be till tomorrow
Thats all good, its not like this is a life or death situation =P I appreciate the help Pico.
sounds like a nice set up.. im rdy for pictures..
one day I'll return.
