Civic SIR springs

**musang** · September 12th, 2004 11:36 PM

I had my Civi LXI installed with SIR springs to go with my 15" rims.

Napansin ko na parang ang taas ng sa harap. Iba ba yung length ng SIR springs sa harap kaysa sa likod? Baka kasi nagkamali yung nag install. Thanks sa mga mag reply. :bald:

baka mas stiff ang springs ng SiR sa front dahil mas mabigat ang engine nito.

i agree with sir boybi

Gaano katagal na po ba nakakabit ang lowering springs?

Aftermarket springs usually will need a week to have it settle down at its operating weight and height.

sir ungas, more than a week na rin nakakabit.

I should be settling down to its operating height by now. Give it a week more and try to load the vehicle once in a while to relieve off some tensions from other parts.

Front springs tend to have a slight higher spring rate than the rears. For front engine applications.

sir, di po nakalowering springs yung kinabit nya sa oto nya. stock lang ng SIR. kaya po nakaangat yung LXi nya kasi mas magaang engine ng LXi compared sa bigat ng B16 ng SIR.

Ah kaya naman pala, yun nga rin iniisip ko malamang hindi tama yung spring rate for the weight of the engine kaya angat sa harap.

Maybe it's about time to switch engines?
