Skunk2 sleeve style coilover question
When im adjusting the perches accordingly is there a way to estimate how low the car will be before installation? The only reson im asking is because i dont have a garage or acess to one. I do all my work outside in the cold and im just trying to cut the trial and error process. Thanks in advance.

w/o every single measurement present at the time it will be hard to accurately know which spot on the sleeve to set the perches, good thing is since they are coilovers adjusting them afterwards is cake
From my experience with the S2s (I've ran them on on 6 hondas of mine since '97 or so) I like them about .............sh*t I can't remember the thread count or distance off the top off my head.
Just set both fronts a little less than half way down and once the car is all down an settled (roll it a bit to make sure) just see how much lower you want to go, and of course do about the same w/ the rear. it will take some fine tuning but you'll get it right pretty quick. one more thing, the rears can't be adjusted w/o removing the tire
but the front's can be adjusted just fine w/o removing the tires
hope this helps
edit: I too operate out of a "driveway shop" FtMFW so I know your pain
