That piece is called a bump stop. Each strut (driver front and passenger front) has one that you need to cut 20 mm or roughly 0.7 inches off from the bottom (according to Eibach’s installation guide). For a better look, there’s a PDF on Google if you search “2017 civic si Eibach bump stop.” I hope this makes sense!

Heyy!!! I'm sorry if I'm replying too late. From what I understand, Eibach pre-compresses their springs prior to shipping out to prevent any sagging after you install them. HOWEVER, you may notice a smaller drop after a couple of days due to the springs settling in with existing components. I had the pros and I thought they were perfect for daily driving. I'd commute from Houston to New Orleans frequently and I never really faced any roads where I didn't feel confident driving on. I hope this answers your question :)

There's also a jack point near the mufflers, towards the middle. Hope this info helps!

Hey, thanks for the question. I wont say that it will, but I also wont say that it wont. I believe an inch drop like this wouldn’t affect the lifespan of your shocks greatly, but there’s a possible chance it’ll wear quicker over time. Usually engineers would design OE shocks/springs to match each other and we’re changing a part that they didn’t consider, so it’s a potential factor. Just make sure you install it properly, don’t abuse your suspension, and consider the mileage you put on overtime. I hope that answers your question!

Your springs shouldn’t have had the ability to cause that. It’s a little difficult to really give you ideas of what it could be since noises can be associated with a lot of different things. My best advice is to grab a buddy to shift into reverse for you while you’re looking around under the vehicle to see where exactly that noise is coming from. If you only started hearing the noises after installing springs, then I’d check the suspension area first to see if anything is out of place!

@henryquoctruong3 жыл бұрын
Thank you!! After driving with them for a while, it was a significant difference compared to the OEM springs. You’ll feel less body roll since they’re stiffer springs and you lowered the center of gravity. Only thing after that would be bigger sway bars, strut tower brace, control arms, and possibly coil overs (if you’re okay with spending the extra money for the bypass module for Honda’s ADS). In regards to the nose dive or lift, I drive like a grandma, so I can’t comment too much. You can always fix this with different spring rates and sway bars. If I remember correctly, pairing a softer spring/bigger sway bar in the front limits nose lift during take off. I’ll have to double check that from my notes :3
