So I just put on my Omni Street Coilovers on my 1990 Civic Si that I just bought. We temporarily installed them on the car...So after a day of driving with them, the front is a lil higher than the rears. So basically I wanna adjust the front lower 1 more inch...
The rear tire is almost tucked under the 1/4 panel.

My question is, now that the coilover is on the car, what do I have to loosen, the bottom (C,D) or the Top (A,B) ... If it's (C,D) How do I adjust it without taking it off the LCA ?
Refer to Diagram...
We will call "A" the spring perch, "B" the spring perch lock, "C" the lower mount lock" and "D" the lower mount.

 

All you do is jack the car up and lower (B) to the hight you need and then lower or lock (A) with (B).

 

hey can u plees post of ur ride would like 2 c the ride height thanks

No. What you adjust is (C) and (D).

 

I will post pics within the next few days...

I have done some reading and basically all that you adjust is C,D. You spin the bottom shock body on the threads until it doesnt move anymore and then lock it in place with the black collar... thats when you know you are at the lowest setting... By adjusting the Upper A+B perches, it will reduce the amount of shock travel inside... from what I understand ?? I have also read that some people leave 1 inch gap on the threads between A+B and C+D...

If you're looking to get performance outta these coilovers, there is a "sweet spot" which you have to get...By lowering it to the max, you will not hit the "sweet spot"...
By "sweet spot" I mean when the shock is performing within it's limits. If its too low, the shock will not perform properly and will cause premature wear...

 

Thats about right.

&lt;--has Omnis, just wish they could go a bit lower. To atleast one finger gap without losing shock travel. Oh well I guess I'll start saving from some Zeals

there is a design flaw with the fronts for ef's. Omni has come out publicly saying that they are in the process of fixing this problem with different lower collars !

we shall see...

 

Hmmm the problem i see with them is the shock is to long. But we'll see.

 

the problem is that the shock is too tall in the front. they just need to make a sorter shock for the front on a crx.

 

I just said that............

 

haha, my bad, i didnt even see the last post
