Default how do I go lower? **pics**

2003 Civic Si

I installed ground control coilover sleeves on the stock struts. I plan to install the Koni struts soon. The front is set as low as possible, but I want to go lower. How can I get my EP to go lower?

Here it is as of now. Id like to tuck the tires...

What if I took the gold ring that is used to adjust the height off, and just went with Ground Control Spring and the shock? Illiminating the sleeve part. ??

Just wait until you get the Koni's. Then you will be able to utilize the adjustable perch on the shock body that will allow you to go a little lower. I wouldn't run the GC springs without the collars, but that's just me.

It wont work, the front of your car is a strut. The front koni for that car is a insert so you will be using your oe strut body. what needs to be done is you need to cut the perch off your oe shock and weld a landing on lower than the oe perch. I have done it, it works. send them to me and ill do it for you for a price.

If the adjuster is all the way down now, why not just use shorter springs to get the car lower?
