I read somewhere a while ago that when tightening the bolts onto the bushes it should be done when the wishbones are at normal on the ground ride height.

Is this true?

If so, does anyone have the distance from hub center/top to wheel arch for OEM shocks with Eibach pro springs?

 

not sure i understand the question your asking...

it shouldnt matter what shocks/ride height your running, but it must be at the normal ride height for your setup.

the aim is to have the bushes in a non-stressed ROAD position before you tighten.

 

I did mine on a lift with all the wheels off the ground, then took the car onto a ramp lift and retorqued everything to the correct spec.

The service manual tells you to loosely tighten the bolts then place a jack under the castle nut at the end of the wishbone and jack the car up until it just lifts of the axle stand on that corner, then you can torque the bolts.

Cheers lads,

just waiting on bolts, springs and rear toe arms now.

Poxy bolts are on back order with Honda - and look at all the good weather I have missed

 

sod doing that sorta work in this heat!

i hope you have a cutting torch; i think their hardened bolts so hacksawing through them wont be quick.

 

1mm wide disk in the grinder makes light work of any of the bolts
