thats cuz you put them on wrong.</div>


Thanks for all your feedback. How could I have put them on wrong? I put the tall ones in the back and the short ones in the front. I got detailed instructions with my new kit and it was exactly how I put the old ones on. I had them checked out by an auto shop and they said they were installed correctly but who's to say. I trust you guys more than a shop.

you shouldnt have to cut anything except the bump stop,if even that i didnt even notice u said u cut the sleeve.and most auto shops dont kno much about aftermarket products even the places were u get aftermarket stuff dont kno much about anything unless it goes on a honda u gotta find out for your self

ok, going to install them. Just to verify, short springs in the back, tall springs in the front? They came packaged the opposite because it said tall were for the rear and short were for the front. Sorry to sound stupid but I don't want to make any mistakes. Thanks

if the sleeve is on upside down, then the sleeve won't go all the way down. hence making the car higher.

Just got off the phone with the makers of the coilovers and they said I needed to take the bottom seat off of the rear strut. I did that now it is perfect all the way around. Thanks guy for all your help!!!

Now what engine can I convert my SOHC to a DOHC with? An older eclipse?

no the 00 eclipse model search the forums youll learn a whole loy more about engines by searchin here

actually your wrong. none of the 3g eclipse's came with DOHC motors. If you have an 8g, 4 cylinder you need to use an EVO 4-9 head. if you have a 7g, you need a 94 galant DOHC head, or a DSM 4G63T eclipse head.
