Fronts will require the strut tops to be cut open to give room for the upper arm if you go really low
 
Gonna be tucking nicely lol rubbing too, obviously depending what wheels etc

MeisterR super low coilovers go about 120mm I've read, so effectively the same as those then. Looks a bit like this, as mentioned here; https://www.ek9.org/index.php?threads/lowwww-ek-civic-coilovers.21934/
 
Wow, I remember that. :D
It was one of the first customer of the MeisterR SuperLow.
They had to raise the car just to get it off the drive because the radiator support was grounding out.

That was when it was first installed on the lowest setting just to see how low it would go, it actually didn't stay at that ride height.
22-Oct-2009, as it been over 7 years already... boy I am getting old.

We changed a bit now, and redone the specification.
The ZetaCRD+ is the replacement for both the Zeta-R and the SuperLow.

As we integrated both specification together, so the ZetaCRD+ will go as low as the SuperLow.
However, it will also have stiffer springs rate and damper valving than before to help with controlling wheel movement.

The wheels will still move as the springs rate isn't out of this world.
But the ZetaCRD+ will provide better control if you compare it to the old SuperLow setup.

Lowest I'm not sure but I know D2, HSD and Meisters as mentioned all go prettyyy low. I'm guessing you going for a slammed stance look

Depend on which version.

ZetaCRD: around -80mm or so.
This would be my choice for a good fast road & track car, with softer springs rate, softer damper valving, and longer damper stroke travel.

ZetaCRD+: around the -110 to -120mm.
This would be my choice for a track focused / stance car, with stiffer springs rate, stiffer damper valving, with shorter body / damper stroke travel.

You can see how low it went above, and it shouldn't be far off that.
The main change is from the slightly stiffer springs rate, so will sit a little higher but not by much.

I don't have a picture of the ZetaCRD+ on the lowest setting, but it will be similar to the blue Civic above.
After all, everything is exactly the same except the springs rate.

I mean we could use the same springs rate as before so you have exactly the same as the blue car above.
But from feedback, most customer want to have a slightly stiffer springs rate to reduce the amount of wheel movement anyways.

It will actually be a ZetaCRD, but it will be a custom build setup.
But yes, something I can do.

I honestly will suggest going with the ZetaCRD+ springs rate just because it will help reduce wheel movement.
It was something that was ask to be implemented by previous owners of the SuperLow.

But then, up to you. We can make build like this because we have a workshop in the UK. :)

do you know of any lower than the CRD+ any other coilovers i dont want to waste your time if there are others lower because im only looking to be low
 
What wheels are you gonna be using? I take it you're gonna be rolling the arches etc for stance. I swear you can pick up cheap ebay coilovers that just slam low but then handle poorly, but if you're gonna be that low I'm guessing you won't be using the car on the roads?

You could pick up or make some Drop forks, so that the whole suspension sits lower and youll be slammed but it's gonna affect handling and stress on other parts
