I think that it mite be because of the top hats I think that you need to get longer ones if I'm correct I remember reading something on here about a guy wanted his Rex to be slammed as well do a search for not low enough and I think that mite pull up something

coilovers arent meant to "dump" your ride. And are you sure he's "dumped"? and not just an illusion from his 16" wheels and lip?

Lol no the coilovers allow u to compress the spring up but it just gives you a stiffer rider

So you're saying to try to turn the collar all the way up, as if I were to raise the car all the way?

Yes and that will compress the spring and then turn up smaller black locks to lock it there and then spin it back down, its a lot of work but that is how you get it to go lower http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eSpwEXwYlc

Turns out I'm an idiot and didn't pay attention to the "s" in the OP's post as I have the pro c 2 piece coilovers. . Thanks though, I'm considering upgrading to those now. I was originally commenting on it being weird that crx's can go lower than hatches with the same set up
