'90-93 Integra rear shocks have longer bodies than '94-01 rears and the spring perch is located lower on the body. It's no wonder you're into the bump stops at static ride height.

Solution: Get the correct shocks for your vehicle.

Some hints:
- You may not think that height is "that low," but you're mistaken. It's pretty low. You can't judge by other cars that you see on the internet, because there are many different factors that play into height appearance.
- The number of threads you have left to go (i.e. "less than half") is irrelevant, as you can see. Just because the threads are there doesn't mean they are usable or that you can or should set the perch there.

only way to get more travel is to raise your car or get the GC extended top hats. Or you could just get the right shocks for your car.
