    i believe the most common rear shock idea hasnt been brought up

    cutting the spring seat on the rear shocks, so the coilover sleeve can go lower...Johnathon you can make another cool diagram if j00 know what im talking about

    and the answer for you is here

    ^ You want to cut that piece in pink. BUT i would leave about half inch to a inch lip, cause you dont want the coil sleeve to slide off the edge if it was cut even.

    and another trick (think) for all the da, and 92-95 guys, you can use 88-91 crx rear shocks, they have a shorter body and give that little bit more slammage. Ek guys can use them to, but i think you have to use spacers.

    I did this almost 2 years ago.... and kept it a secret till I totaled my brown coupe. lol. I think I told you Kashime, but if I'm not mistaken, i swore you to secrecy and we signed a fidelity agreement in blood.

    Nah, actually I mean it's common sense. It's the only thing preventing your coilover perch from going lower right? Cut that bish off! I was about 1/4" from tucking 15's and had another 1/2" to spin them bad boys down.

    (and yeah I had this same setup on both coupes and the integra).

    So now that the cat's outta the bag... I expect to see the number of slammed cars floating around this forum to grow exponentially. lol.
