shock lenght and roll center adjusters
hello, i have a 91 crx si with koni g/c fr/ tophats and 400lbs springs stock bar? rr/ 350 lbs springs, progress rear bar 22mm???? all rear has all mfactory spherical bearings throughout. up coming mods will be skunk2 front uppers and the new innovative traction bar setup. since i need all new ball joint and tie rod ends, i thought id get a set of roll center adjusters. problem is that as is front is ALL the way up and my 205/50/r15 aziens are flush with the wheel opening 
if i got the rca, id be almost an inch lower!!!!!!!! 
the konis i got only seemed to have maybe 4 in of travel in front, shock is short. i wanna know if eg/dc/ek koni yellows are longer then ef koni yellows. also i think the konis i have are sp3 ones?? thank you!! oh and i know if i get eg dc shocks i need a eg dc shock forks

Why do you need roll center adjusters? Also I would skip those Skunk2 upper control arms. They will severely limit clearance under the shock towers. Stick with factory parts.
Also, do you have the front GC sleeves sitting on the top-most circlip slot on the Koni shocks?

Re: (alphalanos)
ignore the clip, i still have ALOT of adjustment, but since the gc upper hats locate the shock further up my ride height is all the way up.

If you want to use the RCA and have the benefits of the RCA,
just don't run the gc tophats, swap them to stock and sell them.
using the RCA gives you the benefit of the gc tophats, increased travel

Ah I see, so your shocks are topping out. You should get regular stock-length Koni Sport shocks, or switch back to stock top hats like was mentioned.
If you put the RCA's on and change nothing else, the tire will sit even higher under the fender with the shock at full extension. It will make your current problem worse.

why? The rear doesn't need extended top hats. And I'm pretty sure the rear top hats are not the same as the front ones, so I don't think you can use your rear ones up front.
