Trouble with cans

You can get the pinch molding at a fabric store (that's where I got mine).

The real way to get lower is to shorten the spindles and run bags on custom mounts, or hydraulics on a 6" cylinder. Sivic, you do need to cut out a little more hole though - go another 3/4" closer to the tower.

yea i wish i could but over here in new zealand i was lucky to be able to cut as much as i did. if u change much over here the car wont be aloud back on the road

pretty much with the look that your wanting to achive, sound to me that the only way is to cut the strut towers out, and build a sub frame from left to right side and bolt your rods to it. Thats what I did to my 2g eclipse when I first sat mine on air. I tried everything You guys have.Civc front sus. isn't that different from eclipse.

as of right now I am in the sand box so cant work on the car but I have decided to change to bag stuts and get rid of the cans.

Im about to come back to SO CAL and i need to get my bag struts any ideas??

Didn't like them so I went with the Easystreet strut bags and I like them a lot better.

don't section the control arms. if you have money to spend, get these. the fronts are $550 and the rears are $500.. which I didn't know because I just called and thats not really worth it in my opinion http://www.westshorefabricators.com/Honda/index.htm

or just lose the honda and buy my courier

Have you checked the clearance between your cylinder and your spindle when you're aired out??? I kinda went thru the same thing with my civic, the cans up front are pretty big and were rubbing up against the spindle when the car was aired out, so it didn't let the front suspension travel all the way up. All i had to do was grind off a little bit of the back side of the spindle to get it to clear. Hopefully your problem is an easy fix
