Default ED6 with FunctionForm Type1 Ride Height Question

Sorry to post here. No help in EF Specific forum.

New to the 88-91 Hatchback world and I bought a 90 ED6 and planned to use it as a DD/project car. I bought F2 Type1's (white label) with skunk2 uca's. The back tucks a little tire, but I have about a 2-finger gap in the front. Do the coilovers need a while to settle down since the car is so lite? I have a 195/50R15 on a 15x8. I have the coilover body, not pre load, maxed out.

Can you elaborate as to why I have that gap only in the front?

I've tried. I'm not use to the terminology, that's why I asked here. I can not find an answer. So stop being a dick if you can't help. Didn't ask for negativity.

Who's being negative? All you have to do is search using common words. Like "EF/ED higher in front than rear". These posts pop up all the time. Don't be the typical new guy that comes on the forum with an attitude thinking the questions he's asking are somehow new.

And I'm the WRONG person to tell me that you searched. I can find Atlantis on the internet.

I did that search. Found topics, didn't find a solution. Most of them talk about the issue and possible fixes but I never found where someone did it and came back and said hey this is 100% fix. That's why I asked here since its the tech area. So I have an attitude because you assumed I didn't search. So please after find Atlantis, could you help me find a solution?

rears are left alone . keep in mind that it does void the warranty with f&f. and your on your own if it blows.. ive just been lucky i guess. this is changing the preload, thus why it voids the warranty

FF coilovers will not get 88-91 civic/crx's low with out doing the above that marc googled. They will slam just about any other chassis. Look into a custom Koni/GC setup if you want to get low and keep a warranty.
