Default Omnipower ride height question...

Does anyone else have Omnipower coilovers on their EJ and can't get it low enough to tuck the tire? The coilover is maxxed out and there's still wheel gap. I have no problem with this since it's my daily driver, I'm just wondering if I have the springs preloaded too much or something. I love the stiffness and don't want my handling affected by preloading them less but I would like the option of lowering my car more if needed. Here is a picture of the gap:

heh. werd

Personally (though I'd never enter any shows), hypothetically speaking if I ever was in a car show i wouldn't slam it, i'd leave it just like that. and i wouldn't give a **** if the shorted me on points for it because that chit just looks cleaner and more natural IMO. slammed cars just look a little broke and ghetto to me....but to each his own. im not hating on all you tire-tuckin dudes.

That wheel gap is exactly what I'm hoping for when I drop my car in the spring. I think thats perfect personally.

No no, dont get me wrong, I love how it is now, I think its perfect as well, but I dont like how it has to be maxxed out to get that way. I have the full omnipower setup and adjusted it by twisting the bottom.

Maybe they aren't preloading the springs and using those perches for to lower it more?

Sorry for the hijack, do you need to preload sleeves or just the full coilovers?
