Default different shock setups

quick question.....i have some maxspeed coilovers on tokicho shocks on my 4dr integra. the rear coilovers are on the lowest setting but my car still seems high; what i was wondering is if there are other shocks that will sit lower and allow me to lower my car in the rear more?

thanx

Shocks don't affect ride height; springs and spring position do. Make sure you are using the correct springs, and lower them if possible in the rear.

Note, you should usually wait more than 26 minutes before bumping your own thread, give people time to respond or you will come across as pushy.

Your springs (coils) are too long for your application OR they just weren't intended to go low. Just swap coilovers.
