hmmmm strange.....i can slam my rear lower then my front with GC's but i don't have any expeirence with Skunk 2 coilovers. Not quite sure it should be the other way around......did you install?
yeah, gc's will go lower than skunk2 (rear)...i still have mine on my car, and it's all the way down on all 4 corners and the rear doensn't tuck like the front...oh well, cut some of the spring if you want lower...?.....

Rep Power: 0 did you ever think that they were put on the wrong way! you may have put the rear spring on the front, and the front spring on the back! i did that by accident last time i changed up my suspension! The thikness of the springs are a bit different, jack the car up! it will say the diameter on the coil! HENCE the larger thicker should go on the front! (common sense) but honeslty thats prolly the problem!
^false. the smaller, shorter set of springs go on the front. the skunk2 for civic 01+ comes with only 2 top plate mounts and those 2 top plate mounts belong in the front with the 2 smaller shorter springs...
the rears are the taller, bigger 2 (two) which do not have top plate mounts. however, all 4 do have perches (since they are coilovers) dur lol

Rep Power: 0 switch em' , had mine professionally installed, called skunk 2 about this problem and pondered it for awhile. Ended up putting fronts on back and backs on front, slammed all the way around enenly and no problems. Had it like this for just over 1 year, springs in front bind sometimes, but I've heard that problem with other brands of springs and coilovers - trim bump stops too. Hope this helps. I know it doesn't sound like the right thing to do, but it's the only way to get an even drop if you want it slammed and personally I think the springs should be installed this way. GET A CAMBER KIT TOO IF YOU DONT ALREADY HAVE ONE - SPC - or you'll be buying new tires every 6-8 months.
