maxpeeding issues
Heyo... Just curious who else runs maxpeedingrods on their 7th gen? Im having issues... First off the front is quite stiff but the rear is very bouncy... Maybe ill be able to adjust with the top valve thingy. Heres my main issue though... Rear is 23.5" off the ground but the front is 25" off the ground. I have about a finger tips worth of thread left on the front ones but the rears are turned up quite a bit so I wouldnt tuck tire... How do I fix this? It looks like my civic squats... The rear is trying to eat the tire but the front is avoiding it. I mean its cool looking in the rear but the front is disappointing... Guess im just curious what other peoples 7th gens look like with them and how you achieved it. Like do I need to max out the front ones all the way to the bottom? And yes I did preload. Turned the top one til I couldnt be hand, and then turned it with the wrench til the wrench could fit between it. And then loosened the bottom one and spun the top to turn the whole assembly... Only thing I can think of is maybe I need to turn the top nut some more to give the bottom more threads to grab onto to lower it even farther? No clue... Please help

At this point Ive sorta given up on this issue. Found out from fellow 7th gen civic owners that maxpeedingrods just sit high in the front in general... They said best way to fix it is to get a shorter front spring and preferably with much less spring rate. From what I can find stock spring rate of the Es1 is 150F/250R, maxpeeding rods is 556F/336R. That could explain why the front is absurdly stiff and the rear is sorta bouncy. Im probably just gonna end up keeping the rears on and either swapping springs on the front or going to stock struts with some drop spring.

All questions are welcome and I would be happy if I could help.
