Icon2 omni coils not low enough

so ive got some omni full coils and the back still has a lot to go but the front is all the way down and the bumper is still about 4 inches off the ground. anyone know a trick to make it lower? all adjusters are all the way down.

cause it will ride like **** most likely. i have koni/gc springs and no adjusters and it rides pretty much like having no suspension.

350lb front and 250lb rear. hella soft springs.

if you remove the adjusters on one peice coilovers then what will the spring sit on? i think you mean for slip on coils.

Most coilovers have 2 adjusters, not just one. I do belive omni power uses 2.
One the coilover you have posted you cant, because there is no where for it to sit. But on some you are able to.
There will be the top adjuster and the lower used to lock the upper, by removing the upper you can drop it a bit more.


I removed both adjusters on my skunk2 slip ons, casue the spring to sit on the factory perch, about 2.5 inches lower then before, i know where your coming from.


Op do you have 2 adjusters or one?
