Default Ground-Control coilovers on 5th gen

I have skunk2 coilovers right now on tokico blues and i'm pretty disappointed with my ride height because it can't be adjusted to tuck in the front. i'm planning on buying GC coilovers and i wonder if it can go lower than skunk2s. if possible, please post pictures with your 5th gen on GCs! thanks!

fyi. gc can be dropped 3.5''. that's plenty to tuck, even on stock shocks.

I have GC's, with KYB AGXs and I lowered the car all the way down awhile back and barely tucked the front tires. The rear I was damn near tucking the rims but damn the car felt like **** when driving around. I could feel every bump and was bouncing every where.

'slamming' your car is a great way to wear your shocks out quickly. You'll be driving on your bumpstops. If you want to lower your car that much, at least get the ground control upper hats.

I thought GC only made top hats for the more common civic/tegs.

Hmm, you might be right since I've never looked into the Prelude app.
