I have a question about my drop with coils
OK I drive a 1997 Honda Civiic HB and I lowered it with coils. My front is dropped lower then my back and when I try to lower my back. The struts in the back however stops the coil from moving lower. Its stopped by a metal piece wraped around the shock so I can't move the coil down anymore. What do I do to fix this.

ah young one......it is as easy as turning the "cup" upside down. Know what I mean?
The spring sits inside a cup at the bottom of the strut.....what you do is take the cup off and the put it back on, but upside down (cup facing downward).
The coil right now is hitting the top of the cup, and you could still go another 1 - 1.5" lower if the cup wasn't there, right?
Take it to a shop that you trust......That cup is sometimes hard to knock off..... :working:
I have seen this done on the 5th gen HB.
