Ride height

[masterjonny]

So i have 2g eclipse with tokico gas shocks in the front with tein springs and kyb(stock) shocks and tein spring why does it look like its nose diving? is it cause of the stock shocks in the back? need help?

 

[M4Dboost]

Id say yes because the back is still jacked up, and the fronts lowered.

 

[masterjonny]

the stocks will cause that to happen?

you have tein springs all around correct? The rear is up higher because the factory shock absorbers spring perch is up higher than the tokico shock absorbers spring perch.. a quick fix would be adjust the front to level it out with the rear if they are adjustable. You could also buy tokico shock absorbers for the rear and this would fix it... i would say do not buy factory shocks for the front and get rid of the ones on the rear. Riding a lowered spring on a factory shock absorber compresses it too much and it will wear out quick. Than when you go over bumps your car will bounce and look like it has hydraulics or something and ride like crap

So your saying i could lower my car a little by putting tokico shocks on?

i think tokicos at least drop a inch

Total, unadulterated, made-up nonsense.

See above.

Look, peeps, there are two possibilities: the springs are also mismatched front-to-rear or the front shocks are blown while the rears are still all gassed up. But it ain't the perches. All the standard replacement shocks have the perches in the same place as OE.

U sir would be correct
