Default just installed skunk 2 coilovers and have some questions...

i put on skunk2 slip on coilovers on my civic with stuck struts, and i have questions about the ride height.

i have the front 2 almost as low as you can go have maybe 3-4 threads left, and its not as low as youd think, the kit said it would lower 3 in. and it doesnt look like 3 to me.
i got 185-65-14s and i can get 2 fingers in the gap, bewteen the fender.
i cut the bump stops in half like you supposed to and i put them in right and the shocks are aligned with the fork.

someone said someting that they take a couple days to setttle and once that happens it will be alot lower? is this true??


since its a 98 it doesnt matter if i switch the shocks around correct? becaue the fronts got switched.

thanks!

You can switch shocks, but the forks are definitely not switchable. I wouldn't go that low on stock shocks, they'll blow easy
