bought drop zone dpsp1013 for my 02 civic but the rear springs are longer/taller than the stock springs. are these the right springs? part number is correct as far as my research proves. 02 ex coupe and a new member to forum. thanx for any help

aftermarket springs usually have dead coils.

Pics would help.

hey robb, thanx for reply. dead coils? sorry, no dig camera so no pics. if dead coils, do they need to be cut or do they compress more? the dz springs have 9 coils. thanx again for your time and knowledge

dead coils are coils that are fully compressed when there is load on them. so when the car is lowered onto the ground with the springs on there will be no space between a few of the coils (making it shorter hence dropping the car)

my friend is riding on dropzones on an 02 civic and the drop is decent. on stick sized tires he is probably lookin at a 1.5 finger gap all the way around.
