    i dont see why your sitting so low with the coils all the way to the top, something cannot be right here, my front is all the way down and my rear is about half way, but idk, maybe ground controls are drastically different on em1 than db1

    The back of the car in its entirety doesnt look so low. It really just looks like it at the wheel wells. Do you have any aftermarket shocks on there? Or is it a 1 piece coilover?

    i think the bigger ones are supposed to be in the rear, but you might have gotten the wrong ones?

    Looks good. But something is not right with the coils. Might be for a different car?

    i ran into the same thing with skunk2 coilover's. i put them on all the way up and i had to take my side skirt's off and then i could not move it at all. someone sold some for a crx or something and they were way to short.

    no offense, but Id go back to stock. It'll save your shocks and oil pan etc. Plus there is something wrong. I used to have an EK too ( before Hondas got whored out) with sleeve overs. At the top of the sleeve should be higher than stock.

    That just looks stupid, and ruins you suspension geometry. That car would handle better stock than the way it sits now. so unless you plan on driving low and slow south of the border, go back to stock until you can get the right stuff
