Fender gap and you're rubbing? No way.

well, they are teins...

..even so, i didnt know teins were that soft, haha. weird.



looks good tho. idk how you installed them, but i dont think the rear top mounts are supposed to look like that

I took a corner so fast that it popped out one of my post bushing above my top hat. I'm probably going to reinforce it by taking the nut off and placing a washer between the nut and bushing to keep it from popping out again.

Uhhhh, you DO know that there IS supposed to be a washer above that bushing, right?

Did you f*ck up all four corners like that?

I'd say go look at a diagram from hondaautomotiveparts.com and double check your assemblies.





Oh, and that ish needs to go lowwwwwaahhhhhh.

looks good.
i'm tucked in the front and no gap in the rear and im not rubbing
does dampening effect rubbing?

It does somewhat. But my tires are a little wide, I had 225's. Teins are not very stiff but they are definitly stiffer than stocks. I dont see why anyone would want to go stiffer on street roads. Only if they were a track car...these are a perfect balance. Im rubbing on my rear bumper tabs, I need about another half inch of space before my tires will clear the rear.

That's how the top mounts are supposed to look, but I added a washer in between the bushing and nut.

No, if that rubber bushing is not placed there. The post will move freely and bang against the car.

My stock shocks never had a washer between the bushing and nut on the post. I made sure and carefully took apart the old shocks and assembled then exactly in the same order. I placed washers between the bushing and nut on all my shocks.

I'll go lower as soon as I finish dremeling the rear bumper tabs a bit.
