Default skunk2 pro-series coilovers.

i have this set up in my dc and the front perces are all the way down, but i am not satisfied with the height. is it safe to remove one perch from each side so it goes baout 1/4" lower?

thanks

You can lower up to 4" with them. Are you saying that 4" is not enough? It should be sitting on the ground lol

I seen the car in person. He has perches all the way down and it doesnt even tuck or slam the car near the ground.

I have the same Skunk2 Proseries coilovers on my 2000 civic coupe. It tucks and lowers the car even more with some threading to spare.

ok, tell me what it is? ive been swaping suspension in and out of my car and friends' car for the past 3 years. i know there is nothing wrong with the install.

these are pics from the day of the eibach meet.

the rear i can tuck easily, but the fronts i cant even though the perches are all the way down.

mayhaps be a problem similar to how the omnipowers share the same sized shock between the EF and EGs, resulting in a front shock which is too long for the EFs (thus the front drop problem)
