Sup guys,

Recently i just installed TEIN S-Tech springs on my 2005 Civic Coupe (it's been 2 weeks now) and I was just wondering if the wheel wells are lower in the back than the front? It's because the gap in the back looks slightly smaller than in the front, is this normal? BTW I'm still using stock shocks if that even matters.

Sorry if this is a NOOB question please don't flame my *** haha

yup, wait a little longer for springs to settle in. Im using h&r and it sags like that also.

icic! how long do I have to wait roughly? Are your's still sagging or have they adjusted?

oh and also, (since i can't check now) is the wheel gap actually smaller in the back on the coupes w/ stock suspension to begin with?

stock stance should be even, you should wait about a month or so for you springs to settle or get a coupe of fat friends to ride with you j/k

rear stock stance on coupes are higher than the front.

Ive notice the same thing on other coupes from the 04-05 genre..

Those lowered coupes to my eyes seem to be lower in the back than in the front like its sagging.. kinda ugly if you ask me.. is this what happens when you lower the coupes or is this from being stock shocks? or poor lowering springs ? or like most of yall said.. well just have to wait a few months for the springs to adjust..?

by the way. .. does anyone know if Skunk2 lowering springs are any good at all.?

i have an 01 LX coupe..just put the skunk2s on last week with stock shocks...the springs are good but the rear is lower then the front...hopefully they settle in soon...im getting konis pretty soon and an eibach camber kit is in the mail cuz the back is waaaay cambered......ill post a pic of my car soon to show you how it looks...in case anyone is wondering/

Just to add.. I have Koni's and Eibach Sportlines on my 02 EX. My drop is even.. well maybe just s tiny bit lower in the front. Here's a pic:

Thanks for all the replies guys. Well from careful observation and unscientific measuring w/ my fingers, it seems like my S-techs sometimes sag a little at the back. The only time i noticed that iwas lower at hte back was when my car was parked on my driveway (the driveway is angled downwards towards the street). But when hte car is on level ground or when i back it in onto my driveway so the front faces the street, the drop is more or less even, and maybe even a little bit lower in the front. I wonder if i got stiffer shocks (in comparance to my stocks) like Tokicos would that 'cause the car to sag a little less?

Coupes have a stock "stanze" of rear higher than front. (agressive, by marketers?) When you lower on springs it evens out, yea I thought something was wrong too!

just let them settle, stock the gap is higher in the rear, so let some springs drop it more int he rear than the front to make it even...are you sure you dont have a system in the trunk or anything
