front lower than rear

i put the front end progress springs on my 01 civic no problem. but the rear i could not do because the bolt from the bottom of the shock to the control arm wouldnt come out. will it be a problem with the front lowered and not the back? i have an appointment at the dealership to get it looked at and i should have the back lowered within a few days so its not longterm

It shouldnt cause a mechanical problem. People may make fun of you for driving a snowplow, but then you can slap them, call them your b**** and remind them its summer and that makes it a leaf rake.

no it won't do any harm short term but cornering will be wierd and people will think you're a ricer.

if the leaf rake and ricer names are the most i have to worry about, then im a happy man. it doesnt look too too bad, but if the back will look like the front when all is fixed, then ill be an even happier man, thank you

If the back looks higher than the front when you first get them on, dont freak out. It will take a few weeks for the springs to settle and even out. Good luck, post pics when your done.

well im sure you could rake up garden refuse or leaves you missed from the fall clean up. rakes are a multi purpose tool, very diverse in their use

Exactly, i can use a rake for many things. I appreciate you coming to my defense in my time of need. I no longer feel insecure about my lack of knowledge when it comes to garden tools and methods. Rep for you!

Hey

hey, while the attention is still on this thread slightly, i have another question. the problem with the rubber catching on the bolt has taken a turn for the worse, 100 seems to be the lowest people are charging for JUST THE REAR SPRINGS , and those people didnt know it had the problem with the rubber. someone at fuzion, i dont know if anyone knows the place, said it would be 170 AT LEAST because they had to melt the rubber out. someone please help, if anyone knows a store in the philly area thatll do it for any amount cheaper than that let me know becaue i think im about to take it in the tail pipe

Try posting in the Mid-Atlantic forum and see if someone there can offer any shop choices.
