i just put on my GC today and the rear is hella low,but the front is one finger gap,so i had to raise up the back and make it even with the front,cuz i hate looking at the rear lower than the front.is there eny way i can make the front lower like the rear,becuz the front is already adjust down to the lowest,it can go lower but its just that the cup to hold the stock spring is the one stopping the one u torque down...so i was thinking to cut that cup so that the sleeve for the GC will go lower,and in that way it can be even with the back...what u guys think i should do?idk if it will get compress later but am thinking it wud b the same....

 

You have a sedan, correct?
Did you get the GCs for the sedan, or just for a 2001-2005 civic? Because if you put springs or sleeve coilovers designed for a coupe on a sedan, the rear will always sag.

 

yep, i got a sedan and it's meant for the sedan my car is an 05 model.but i want the front to be atleast no finger gap.

 

They might just not be designed to go as low as you want them to. Try a full coilover suspension. Or get bigger tires.

 

wut if i jst cut the cup that holds the stock springs?is it bad to do that?i will not be using it eny more.

 

You are asking for trouble if you lower the front that much.

Deal with the finger gap and be glad it is there.

 

slamming your car is not functional at all and what your thinking of doing is just stupid...they arent designed to go that low...

theres nothing wrong with a 1" gap

 

YOu might need a lifter in the rear

 

i've actually heard of people doing what you want to do (remove the tophat that came with the GC's and use your stock tophat) with no problems. but i dont know how it rides.

You'll need more than just new springs to maintain drivability at that point.

 

i've already cut the cup,and its hella sweet...the ride is the same no problems at all,now my tires are tucked..thanks guys for the help
