Default car wont go any lower?

whats up guys im new to ht but ive been on prelude zone and blah blah anyways i have skunk2 coil sleeves and they are adjusted all the way down yet my front still has like an inch gap till i hit tire and i wanna put the front a little lower. now im ordering tokico blues very soon and im curious if the spring seat will sit lower on the tokico cylinder than on the factory cylinder? cuz i wanna go just a lil lower so my car doesnt look like im raising cattle in the front wheel wells... any help is appreciated. oh and heres a pic for reference lol

how big are the wheels? if you were to get shorter springs you could lower the car further. Skunk2 sells individual springs as well.

looks like you have some pretty small tires too. if you go with a taller tire it will bring more comfort to the front and will fill the gap.

why are you running 195s? those dont belong on preludes. you should have at least 205. im running 225s and im slammed without any problems. 225 50 15. i think the problem is what everyone else said, your tires are smaller.

I have the same problem, with ground controls though. The back goes way lower than I'd ever need, but the front is no where close.

I'm leaning towards it being the springs. I'm thinking about trying some 6 inch ones. It looks like it's about $60 a spring though.. ouch.
