I have 95 gsr with omni full coil overs and I have the front as low as they go. But I heard you can loose the preload in the suspension to make it lower. Is this true and how would I do this? For the people using this suspension any pics of this setup

Yes, if you give up spring preload, you can go lower. Leave the shock body perch in place and lower the spring perch.

Well if you are currently adjusting the ride height by shortening the length of the shock, then this is the way to loose ur preload to go lower:

extend the shock body (so the spring perches can go down)
lower the spring perches as much as desired (may need the spanner wrenches to do this)
reinstall anything u removed to adjust ur suspension
done

By the way, I do not recommend doing this to anybodies car because the ride quality WILL suffer. And this has been covered many times, use the search

Guess the thread from the Integra forum was moved here, so I have merged the threads and the 2 original posts.
