Default suspension question...please help

Okay so this may be a dumb question, but I just put ViS v-spec type 2 coilovers on my 92 hatch. I have them as far down as I can spin them and I still have like 2 inches of space between my fender and the tire...I wanted it to be almost even. I have 15's on my car but still...shouldn't I be able to slam a car with coilovers even if I roll 15's? I only have the rear done and I also put new shocks in but they're stock ones. So any help or info. would be great.

my buddy had the same problem.
it's the shocks man. the stock ones are too long.
unfortunately, u'll have to buy a set of shorter bodied aftermarket shocks.
although, i'm not familiar w/ v-spec coil-overs, this my my best guess.

How long ago have you done this? If it was recent give it about a good week to settle, and even then you will see it settle more later on. I lowered my car and you could definately tell that it settled quite a bit. I would recommend throwing on some shocks too because that could also be your problem.
