dropped all the way, spring still preloaded. I wish I had more adjustability so I could go lower (not that I want to), but it would be nice to know its there.

EDIT: It's less than a finger gap (for people with normal fingers, no fatties ). The perception of the picture makes it look a little more.

IMO, it all depends on size of tires and rims, example, 205/50/15 will tuck more than 195/50/15, and 215/45/16 will tuck more than that, I ride Tein SS and I know people with Omni's, they are PERFORMANCE coilovers, so they are more for actual function than looks. I've seen Honda's with ridiculous slam jobs and they are usually riding on skunk2's or ground controls with blown struts..

these guys are tucking alot of tire...one on azenis and the other on unkown...but for sure not azenis...i'm sure it matters just a lil on tire size...but none the less it still should be tucking




both cars are tucking tire....this silver EK and the 2 other pictures...so i'm thinking it's just install error
