I have a question, this is for 88-91 HB owners, I have springs in my car apexi they lowered the front and not the back so we thought we put them in wrong so we switched them around and still the back was raised higher then stock, I just want to know how long does it take for springs to settle specially the back ones?? I was told that these springs are more then likely for a intergra. Even though the guy who sold them to me said they would work on my car 100% 88-00 civics and integras

you already know what I have to say about this...even if they needed to settle they still would never be as high or higher than stock in the back

u really need to take some pictures so I can see exactly whats goin on here

styls255

its 2 inchs off the tire from the lip of the wheel well

Buff 'n Stuff

it takes days to a couple of weeks for springs to settle.

imo, you need to get a set of springs that are made specifically for the year and model of your vehicle... (the correct application)

styls255

the guy I bought them off of said they were.

i'm just going to coilovers

punkindrublic

coilovers suck... you probably got 4 front springs or something

styls255

nope got smaller spring which we put in the back, and the longer one up front. we also had to switch the top rubber piece that goes over the spring, cuz the smaller one is flat at the top, so we had to use the one from the front shock and put it in the back, and reverse.

punkindrublic

ya that'll do it to

styls255

so did I do it right or did we mess something up, I think i'm just going to wait and C if they settle I hear it takes awhile.

punkindrublic

my race springs are higher in the rear compared to the front but they are still probably two inches lower in the rear then stock

styls255

so u think i'm good and should just wait till they settle? just want to know if I did them right.

styls255

so longer springs in the front, smaller in the back

punkindrublic

yep that is how it goes... my springs hardly settle at all... i guess how much they settle is based on the spring rates and length of spring also though

styls255

it said 1.5 -1.8 inch drop.

punkindrublic

ya i know but a spring could be shorter but stiffer and give the same drops as a longer but softer spring... mine hardly settle at all but then again i have race springs and nice shocks now

styls255

I have the springs and stock shocks. so I will probably take longer.
