Re: To Low? Installed Coilovers, somethings wrong

Maybe check with some members who have Tein SS on their 6GA's, hopefully they're still around the site. Doesn't Lemon have them?

Does it look like the set you bought was altered or modified in any way?

Re: To Low? Installed Coilovers, somethings wrong

Tein Basic/SS/SA/Basis are all 7Front/4Rear no matter if 4cyl or v6

Either those coils are not made for a 6GA...or the person you bought them from had different springs on there that did not originally come with the coilovers.

All the coils should have a chrome looking sticker with a part# on them. At least one of the four probably still has it on and it hasn't washed off/ripped off. Write it down and post the #. It should say one of these DSH94-2USS1, DSH94-2USS1, GSH94-1USS2, DSH94-KUSS2,

Are you sure you adjusted the height correctly in the front? from how you explained it, it sounds like you have the front adjusted all the way down and the the rear adjusted all the way up.
I would just adjust the front to the same height that you are sitting at in the rear, and just keep measuring to make sure that its even all the way around.

Re: To Low? Installed Coilovers, somethings wrong

I bought a set of Tein SS brand new before I bought my FF type 1's. I can guaranteed you that with the front coils maxed out you will have a one inch finger gap. If yours is tucking already, then that's clearly not normal. I would ask the seller to see if he can confirm the coil is made for a accord, and did he switch or alter the spring.


My signature picture is 16's with Tein SS.

Re: To Low? Installed Coilovers, somethings wrong

I have no idea what is wrong with these, but I know they shouldn't be that reaching those levels of "low". Mine have about a little less than a half an inch of threads left and I've got a about 1 finger gap on my TL wheels.

Re: To Low? Installed Coilovers, somethings wrong

waiting to hear back from seller now, im gonna call tein again too tomorrow, i put a picture of the fronts current set up.
Front coils came with both locking collars on, the thin plastic spring base, and 6.0kg springs(seller said theyre 6.0, and i think i recall seeing that on them in white letters) then i put oem tophats on from my suspension(spring, then the metal cone/flat washer base thing for tophat, thin black washer, tophat with the rubber mounts still in it, then washer and nut, used everything but the dustboot stuff)

Any way to tell if the struts are blown? pushing on the corners it's definetly stiffer than factory, doesnt bounce all over the place

and i remember seeing on the stickers on the coils it said like 98+ accord

Edit- seller never had them on the car, jacked up the front for spring numbers fronts were smudged so i never noticed before,
front- G040-EBC
rear- I070- EBC1
couldnt find them on teins site, but the serial on the fronts on the 98-02 accord SS coils should be SM070-01250 and rears should be SC040-01250, it's looking like i put the rears on the front but i thought the shorter, smaller ones went up front like the factory suspension is?
