    If you change the spring in all four tire's you probably reversed one spring the front and backs or the backs and front. The strong springs with the higher spring coefficient should go on the front since the engine is in the front.

    i'm not sure if this still stands sa mga es civics(vtec-3). sa ek kasi hindi talaga pantay ang drop niya, mas mababa yung sa front driver side because of the fact na andon yung karamihan ng load ng engine.

    solution, rubber lifter. mura lang un nasa 250 ata.

    Did you replace your shock absorber? if not.. there a great possibility that one side of your shock was already damage or defective already.. try to check this..

    Here's my question/s

    I take it that you've change all 4 springs. When you bought the lowering springs, did they specify which is front and which is rear. You see, there is a big difference between these two. One, the front springs ALWAYS is the burdened spring since they carry the weight of the engine all the time. So, meron sila kaunting katigasan kaysa sa likuran. The rear spring carries weight ONLY when the car is fully loaded. So, kailangan, medyo flexible siya. If not, the rear of your car is "MATALBOG".

    Next, When you bought the spring, did you check the "RELAXED" lenght of each spring. What I'm saying is, nakumpara mo ba ang bawat isang spring with one another. Reason: There are times na MALI ang ibibgay sa iyo.

    Try these. Measure each front spring na naka install pa. Medyo mahirap pero kung may kakilala ka gas station, pwede ka patulong. Take note of each lenght. Then have a mechanic remove the springs and measure each in the uncompressed state. Kung pareho haba nila habang nakatangal at may difference habang naka install, means malambot o spent na ang spring with the least measure in compressed state. papalitan mo. kung parehas lang sila sa compressed and uncompressed, wala sa springs yan. Check mo bushing o spacers, baka may nalimutan ibalik yung nag install ng springs mo.
