Default stock strut/spring with slicks?

I have Koni yellow/Neuspeed race spring on my car (civic hatch) but even that the highest setting im pretty sure i don't have enough clearance for the 24.5 slicks i have coming.

I have 225/50/15 Drag radial on there now and i have about 1/2 inch clearance to my fender, Im thinking of putting in my stock strut/spring on the front only so i can run a set of 24.5 slick.

Hopefully it wont be too bad?

I have Koni Yellow and GC on the front of my car and 24.5's fit fine on my car and they were not at max height, they are only .5" taller than your 225/50/15's........

Had full lock to lock as well, how much of a drop do your springs give you?

I dont have the GC coilover so i cant raise my car anymore, there no way my set up is going to cleat the slicks right now though.

It have maybe half an inch clearance with 24 inch tire but it tuck so it not a problem but with the slick im sure they still stick out pass the fender.

buy some cheap coilover sleeves problem solved, I rode on the same ride height with the 225's as I did with the 24.5's...... didnt change a thing.
