is it normal?

[mozzandherb]

I just had my Accord lowered with KYB AGX shocks and Tein S springs. The drop was supposed to be 1.7 in back and 2.1 in front. I had a camber kit installed in front and back. I haven't had an alignment done yet, that's going to be tomorrow, but I havent't been driving my car since the drop was done because of the alignment issue. Anyways the drop was done 2 days ago, but the problem is the back looks dropped, but the front doesn't really look lowered all that much. Is this normal? Does it take a while for the springs to set? I wish I had some pics to show, but there was an earlier thread where I think the guy had the same problem. I mean it does look a little lower, but not nearly 2.1"? Any advice or help, thanks

The springs and all that you had on before the drop were most likely older and getting wore out. So they had settled down and in effect dropped the car a little with out you realizing it, putting the new drop on it may look a little higher just because it is a newer kit. Later

The suspension was stock before I just dropped it. And it does look a little lower, not higher, but like I said not as low as I thought it might be

im not a suspension expert but from what ive gathered so far...most new aftermarket suspension setups need time to settle to its right measurement.

some take a long time to and some don’t

[MadSpleen85]

But like I said earlier the stock equipment could have been wore out and had settled. If the stock equipment were brand new before you added the drop then the drop would be more noticeable. I am a newbie to suspension myself but I am just going from what I have heard and seen on here previously. Later

Thanks for the answers guys, I have a feeling too that it will drop a little more as time goes on.

from what i heard the AGX's make it a bit higher.

[cp[mike]]

itll settle a bit, but everybody who has AGX's complains about them raising the height a bit.

[mozzandherb]

That sucks, but there must be a reason for it. All in all are they good shocks?

Let me differ, cuz my drop, dropped like is hot with my AGX I got my 2.25 drop

It was my thread earlier....Since then ive noticed a bit of a drop on the front...but not much...Im gonna give it till i go to school in september before i gotta see bout new parts...but it does take a lil while for the springs to settle in.

it will be surprisingly high for a few weeks. I had to wait for mine to settle about 2 months.


and the agx's do make your front end a bit high. I hate that about them.
