Coilover problem. . . - Honda Prelude Forum

vtEk · 04-29-2002, 07:57 PM

i just put in some no name coilovers and the front didn't seem to go down at all. i adjusted it almost all the way down to its lowest setting and it still looks normal.

I adjusted the back down, and it is fine.

any body got any ideas?!?. . .please!!

Did you put the dust cover back on the shocks?

If you did it is probably catching on the top of the collar.

well you gotta give the coil-overs time to settle in....its the same thing with my cousin and he was anxious about lowering it..and after a week or so...that thing started dropping...why did you buy a no name coil-over anyways?...how much did you pay for it?...you should have just gone with ground-control or skunk2 coilovers....

i did take off the dust cover, and yes i should of saved a little more money and got the real thing because the ride is bumpy as hell. . .

So i should just wait for it to settle?!?

Thanx for the input fellaz. . .

well coilovers are bumpy in nature...unlike lowering springs...but i would wait for it to settle to see on how much you dropped...

Flip the threaded sleeve upside down.
