hi. i recently purchased some koni yellows and pro-kit springs and the springs for the rear are seated very crooked on the koni perch. if i flip the springs upside down, it sits onto the perch nicely. i test fited the spring on the stock shock and had the same problem as well so i know its not a defect on the konis. and for the front springs, the top cap that fits over the spring is a little too small too. did anyone else have these problems when installing the pro-kits? i called eibach already and confirmed the correct part numbers. i have a 1994 honda accord.
also, if i use the lowest perch setting for the konis, how much of a gap will i have? how do i measure how much the car has dropped? i have the regular koni yellows, not the neuspeed ones, so only 3 perches for me. is it true that the neuspeed konis have a shorter shock body as well? i thought they were the same. i should have did more research before i bought them..
I don't have eibach springs, so someone else is gonna have to help you out there...my H&R's fit perfect with both my OEM and my Koni shocks.
About the shocks, the Neuspeed Koni's (SP3's) do have a 20mm shorter shock body as well as the 5 perches.
Concerning the final drop...it will pretty much be whatever Eibach advertises as their drop, + the small amount of difference between the middle perch groove and the lower perch groove (maybe a quarter inch is all?) on your shocks.
Prokit is something like 1.2-1.5", so maybe 1.5-1.75 at most drop.
I used one lower perch up front (I have the SP3's) and then used the middle perch in the rear to try and get an even drop. My car has a bit higher wheel arch up front. I'd say my final drop is about the 1.75F, 1.5R, + .25 up front making it about 2" up front, and 1.5 or so in the rear. The wheel gap is pretty nice and even too.
