Will pay cash.

Let me know how much your services will set me back.

Thanks,

Rob

sry......... Its a 1990 Civic.

The springs should have lowered the car about 2inches and it looks the same (front). It looks like the rear shocks are busted.

by the front looks 'the same', i assume you mean it appears to be at stock height? Just trying to figure out what your trying to say..... Why do you think the rear shocks are busted? How does it ride? Who/Where did the install? Are the KYB shocks you have adjustable? If so, what settings are you using in front and back? You need to be a little more specific. Once again, I'm just trying to understand what you're saying.

if your shocks are like my koni adjustables, they are adjustable by both hieght and dampness. mine has 5 rings on the bottom of the shock to adjust the hieght, yours might be on the lowest ring in the back, and the highest ring in the front.

also, when i put coil-overs on my CRX, the dust guard was sitting on top of the adjustable sleeve causing my car to sit high in the back, once i took the dust guard off it lowered down to where it should be.

did you take off or cut the bumpstops?
