Let the suspension settle in for about a week or 200km. After that, check again and see if it's still higher.

Which side is higher ? Dont forget, the driver side will sit lower due to your weight.

Kaolinite 03-12-2013 07:38 PM

the passenger rear is sitting higher than the driver rear.. hmm ya ill guess ill just keep checking it

DJ Milk 03-12-2013 07:39 PM

I think you have to drive the car for a certain amount of time for it to settle. By certain amount of time it could take weeks

dared3vil0 03-12-2013 07:59 PM

It can take up to a month or 1000Km for a car to COMPLETELY settle.

Kaolinite 03-12-2013 09:35 PM

every single time you adjust the height? cuz the coils have been on my car for almost 30,000km

I set my driver fronts 2 or 3 threads above the rest of my coils, and get it aligned at that.
Oh also forgot to mention, I know on my car, the gas tank isn't perfectly centred as well, so when its full or empty could change the way the back sits. There are so many variables, its really hard to get it perfect. Take it to get corner balanced at a race shop if it REALLY bothers you, or just keep messing around.

When I cut the springs it's common practice to cut the passenger one 1/4 coil more than the driver, on my old Volvo.

Soldered some wires to extend my RRM ECU piggyback. Going to finish install tomorrow.
Waiting for AEM cone filter in mail so I can install my RRM SRI. Should be here by tomorrow as well. Fun awaits.

So like I got a mod bug after owning my civic for few months and then did the winter projects. I only spent $500 for this project to do DIY.

Before the modding starts.

(Left like that for a day of heavy rain while I was taking ferry to Nanaimo. Such a bad timing, had leaks in the trunk)

How it is currently sitting right now.

Hard wired my radar detector, changed the oil and filter and washed the car. Then it hailed after I dried it. :(

jing 03-16-2013 08:39 PM

Oil + filter change
Changed the spark plugs and gapped them accordingly
Changed the ignition wires

Would've checked the timing too but can't find anyone with a timing light yet...
