Default lowering problem..

well i bought skunk2 coilovers and tokico hp shocks for my 00 civic hb, and i just got 15" rota slip streams and i lowered it to have my tire tuck right under my fender, but both the rear coilovers are at the very bottom of the coilover and it's still not low enough.


any reason why that is?

i thought put them on wrong so i switched the back and the front springs and its still the same.

Try one of two things.

Flip the sleeve over so that the threads go to the bottom instead of stopping about an inch up.

or

Take out the sleeve and just ride on the spring. My friend is riding like this in his EG hatch. It barely tucks tire at all.
