hey everyone, just wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem as me, ive got a dc2 with buddy club N+ coilovers ,
the front can be slammed though the rear is maxed out and isnt even that low..
is there a way of going even lower without effecting my spring rate ?

can you take a pic of how the rear sits on your car?

when you say you cant slam the rears - are all the perches ontop of one another?

(so the 'rings' under the springs are all touching)

the bottom perches dont seem to be maxed out.

by altering the top perches(perches right under the spring) you can lower it but it alters the dynamics of your damper- short stroke, different drive charateristics and possibility of hitting the bump stop.

it is best to alter the the bottom perches and rotate the bottom cylinder.

isnt that low?, geez man, how low do u wanna get? low enough for the police to notice or low enough to wreck the underbody of your dc2? LOL

Looks like there's still plenty of room to go. Adjust the bottom perch up and twist the whole bottom so it's shorter

Unfortunately it's the LCA's. The pressed type don't allow the shock pivot to be anywhere but just a few mm below level with the end pivots. Must be JDM is it. The solid bar/forked end type are lower for the DC2/EG by about 12-13mm and you can probably get aftermarket ones that are lower. But then you'd have to throw away the eyelet shocks. Maybe you can change the ends for forked, they look as though they screw off.
