I have a 91 4 door civic. And i put on omni power slip over coilovers on it. I have not had any problems with the front and they work really nice. But the back are a little odd to me. I can't drop the back hardly any more then stock or the shocks will ground out. I can't figure out why the back will not drop. Right now the back coils are almost at the dop of the sleeve. about 4-6 threads down the sleeve. If i go any lower the ride becomes really bad, and it grounds out. So right now my car has a little bit of rack. So anyone have any thoughts on why this might be doing it.
Thanks,
Mike

did you make sure that the sleeve is right side up? if you have it upside down it will do what you are talking about. in other words the threads should not go completely to the mount perch, there should be a smooth section there. GC's are like this but on the omni's all i see is that the sleeve is longer. either that or you have the front on the rear and the rear on the front.
I already checked for front on rears, and vise versa...But i posted this same thing on honda tech and someone asked if i took off the dust covers. Well when i tried to drop the rear the first time I had the dust covers on.. and well they kinda got crushed, and sence then i have taken them off but have not tired to drop the rear. I think this could be it, so im going to try to drop the rear again tomorrow and see what happens. But whatever happens ill post tomorrow.

the dust covers should be able to stay on, but just let us know what happens
