If the sleeves are all the way down, why bother having them to begin with? lol. Remove the sleeves for the max drop, but in your case it sounds like the springs are too big. Any pics?

You can take the sleeves and flip them upside down that will lower it a little more if thats not enough take out one of the adjusters or you could always cut them

Re: (biznatchyryan)
why don't you just keep the car the way it is and save up for a better suspension instead of being ghetto. you'll be better off in the long run trust me.

First of all, sleeves aren't the safest thing to have on your ride in the first place. Second, cutting them or turning them upside down is something you definately don't want to do. Better off getting a set of springs/sleeves(if you must)/coilovers that will get your car the stance you are looking for with out cutting/flipping/rigging them. I think coilovers will be your better option, though they will cost you a little more, but will make your car ride better and give you the freedom to adjust them as low as you want.

So you want him to buy a decent suspension just to dump the car? Why? The performance benefits are gone at that point anyway, and so is the ride quality.
Why waste the money? If you're just looking to dump it, any crap will do.
OP: either take out your sleeves to lower the car, or buy springs for a 7th gen civic. 01-05. Those springs are super short. They work, trust me.

A smaller tire would ADD to the wheel well gap.
