I have a 95 Accord and I am running a set of Neuspeed Race springs, with ingalls cambers and I am sitting on 17 x 7 with 215 / 45 / 17. Here is the problem I put in a set of Koni yellow adjustables, and on the highest perch the tires rub on both sides when turning half way. Here is the question, can I solve this problem by replacing the spring with the Neuspeed Sports and the konis on ht ehighest perch? Or if there are any other suggestion I am open to them. I am kind of lucky because the car is sitting in the garage all winter. and get to work on any part I want.

 

That is so sweet to be able to park your car and work at your leisure. Mine is used everyday. Im trying to find a beater so I tackle larger jobs.

How much drop do are you using? The shocks shouldnt affect the height, should it? Maybe you're talking about during rolling turns? Is your camber set out too much? Is it adjustable?

Yeah I bought a 03 Dakota Reg Cab for winter. The bug already hit me on that truck to but anyways.

I have been told in the past that the Koni yellow system if installed on stock shocks then it would lower the car a little. The Koni's also have 5 perchs on the shock which allows you to adjust the shock height up to I think 1.25 or 1.5 inch's. No the Race springs are settled and sitting at about 2.5 inch drop in the front. When I put the koni's on at the highest perch the car had a 3.25 inch drop on it, and when I turned the wheel about half why you could see the contact to the fender and inner fender well.

So I am wondering if the Sport springs with a settled drop of 2 inchs rated at 1.75 out of the box would possibly fix the problem. Is there anyone that is sitting on the Neuspeed Sports and Koni yellows?

 

Do you happen to know what your wheel offset is? Also, who suggested your tire size for you? Those are mighty big sidewalls for your car.

 

I don't recall what the offset is on the rims. The tire size was suggested by someone on this board about a year ago. I am switching my rims this summer to a set that hase a +40 offset if my memory serves me correctly. I still want to run the 215/45/17 if possible.

 

before you do anything drastic check the part number on the shocks and springs. It maybe that u have the wrong shocks. I can't see how putting them on the highest perch would drop lower than on stock shocks... U did have the neuspeeds on stock shocks before correct?

 

That is correct. The race springs were running with stock shocks (ride sucked LOL) I checked the part numbers and they are the right shocks. I talked to a tech at koni and he said they have a little lower stance then stock. He would give me a reason why.

 

I agree, there seems to be something wrong...I have the koni's and the middle perch groove was pretty much in the exact same position as the stock perch. I measured while installing, and the car showed this after I installed them.

Weird though.
