how can this suspension be raised?
Hoping somone can point out what i'm missing here.
I've got Koni yellow shocks and Tanabe springs all round. The suspension sits too low so i'm going to raise it up, but this morning, whilst i had the wheels off i noticed that the front already appears to be on the highest setting.
Thing is the car is very low (wheel tucked right up in the arches) so surely there must be more adjustment upwards?
The only thing i can think off is to turn the 'cup' the other way round but it doesn't look like it can seat the other way around.
Any advice appreciated.

I dont know why you would be so low on that setting. Does it look like you springs have been cut?
Sorry, I'm not sure if you can flip the perch around.

I don't believe you can flip it around, though for the highest setting to be slammed - they gotta be cut or something .

Nope, they are not cut, i bought everything new about 2 years ago.
Think i'll get some koni adjustable threaded perches and raise it up that way (then i can corner weight as well)

only thing i can think is that your springs weren't made for your car.
springs made for a EF will fit an EG civic, but will be far shorter, possibility?
either way like you said you'll need coil overs...so good luck

Re: (instrument)
Defo the right parts for the car, checked the part numbers.
Maybe they've just sagged.
I'm enquiring with king motorsport about some adjustable threaded perches. I'll see what they come back with.
