rear coil over problems? hey guys..... i drive a 02 civic ex sedan and i just got some new coil overs (no namers) and was expecting a nice clean drop... i slammed the front which looks pretty sick but i slammed the rears and the end result was pretty much the same as the stock ride height. it only got lowered by like 1/2 inch. im greatly dissapointed with the outcome of the rears. if anyone can help me with this please help me!!

Rep Power: 310 usually, its a settling issue. how long have they been installed? give it about a week max then see if its settling in.

Coilovers should not settle. In fact,quality ones are guaranteed not to settle, sag or lose more than 5% of their length over their lifetime.
Its because you bought no namers and they're so generic the springs aren't the right length. Try buying something thats worth buying.
