Default choosing suspension, 94 hatch

i have a 95 coupe right now, on some sort of koni... ground control... idk whats what. but there adjustable coilovers. I had them down the whole way on some 15" mesh alloys, and they werent quite to my liking. i have like 1.5" of space from tire to fender (i want lower). Worst part is, you can reach behind the wheel and shake the spring around. i have the shocks set to stiff, and its like im practicly riding on no suspension. My girlfriend hates riding in my current car right now haha. But it doesnt bother me bc then she drives everywhere. Saves me gas ;P

I have a 94 dx hatch project for over the summer, im putting on some 15" drag dr-21 (red) rims. any suggestions on suspension? id like to lose another inch, and maybe actually have weight on the springs...

Thanks

It sounds like the car is sitting on the bumpstops. You should take the shocks out and cut the bumpstop at the top ring. Also turn the stiffness on your konis down to somewhere in the middle of the adjutment range.
