not really. i have about 1/2 cap between tire and fender, and i can easily go another 1" down. maybe more, its been awhile since i've had the wheel off. going down all the way looks cool, but its alot of camber to adjust for (unless you like buying tires) and it doesn't handle right. plus, you risk bottoming out the shock. i have 195/60/14 azenis

Yeah right tires dont bother me and camber it and roll fenders and tuck down to rim on 15" is good.

thats really low. i dont know if the omnis could tuck the rim, but i think i could get 1" of tire in the fender. it would drive like butt though, as the front tires would always "wander" on the tarmac

talk to steve rothenbuehler (omni) and see if he gives a **** about low riders. he doesnt. if you just wanna scrape manhole covers then get some ebay springs and throw the twisty part away and brace you kidneys for the shittiest ride evAr.

I saw that EF at the Eibach nights meet...looked like the 1/4 panel and tire were smashed together, lol. I didnt catch a pic of it at Nisei but i bet it was the same thing there. No wonder he trailers it..well thats probably one of the reasons anyway.

Default Re: (DUFFM4N)

Ok so to clear up everyones questions about ride quality and how low the f&f coilovers can go, the front can go super low, to low infact you couldnt get your car to move because it would be sitting on tires the rear for some reason doesnt drop down as much as i want it to I am in the middle of talking with the rep from f&f to see if i might have gotten the wrong setup or somting. The rears drop down to about 1/2 above rear tire and that is with the full coilover droped down to its lowest setting. The ride quality is sick, full stiff and full soft is like two different vehicles . I like to ride my hatch low as expletive!!! so right now the rear is buggin the **** out of me . I will let you guys know if this gets resoved. Other then that great product and great customer service.

Oh and i saw the pics of ryans ef9, from the pics i saw he wasnt riding on the f&f coiovers the top part is way different from mine, unless he had a different setup

I have to date, seen not one coilover system capable of dropping crx rears as low as some of you guys want

short of cutting coils, I don't think its really possible to do legit

I'm running D2s and I'm pretty happy with the drop. No ricer drop, but it's low enuf for me

remember the 88s have different LCAs, so maybe look for something ITRish....although im sure no one makes ricer drop springs for the ITR

I think the whole problem is that there just isnt enough weight in the back of a CRX...
