Sorry about the double post, but D2's go quite low as do MeisterR's.

Here is some pictures of a 4G Civic on MeisterR Zeta-S Coilovers.
The owner told me he can still go lower...

I don't have Zeta-S SuperLow for the EF mainly because there isn't any more space to go lower physically if you want to have ANY suspension travel.

You can see that even EF in the States on 15" wheels can only just tuck the tyres...

To have most of the tyres under the arch on 15" will mean your chassis will almost be rubbing on the ground and you will have NO suspension travel... You will be riding on your bump stop so you might as well have no dampers.

I am pretty sure it can be done... but it won't be cheap as you are going to need a few custom springs, and the damper probably won't last as it will certainly close to be fully compressed all the time.

The upper control arms have got to be resting on the chassis in that pic. Its that low thats I'm surprised its not resting on the tyres.

correct and correct no susp at all in the first pics, give you idea how low it can go physically,

YAY! Thats my VT in Nocturnals pics. Its on 16 inch wheels too.

When I fitted them I set them with about 10mm spare and I only just got it out if the workshop and then 1 min down the road had to turn around to go and raise it! The middle box was hitting the floor and the mudflaps were actually slowing the car down. Thats how much they were touching the ground.

I've tweaked it since the pics, its slightly more nose down. Anymore and I wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting over the average size speedbumps into my street.

Go meisterR's you won't be disappointed.

With the centre box on the shuttle touching the ground it still doesn't look low enough
