john?
any way. idk how air struts work but you need to know whats hanging the car up. are the shocks bottoming out and that is what is not allowing them to go any lower. are the air struts like pick up air shocks? if so raised top hats are an option.doing it for the internet and the scene kids.

Air cylinders are going to keep you up. The upper control arm will ultimately hit the cylinder before they bottom out on the body.
Ultimately it's going to take cutting, tubs, and shortened spindle (steering knuckle) and bags integrated or a 6" hydraulic cylinder. There are a few of these on streetsource.

the toe links will lay on the ground and keep you from going lower long before the rest of the car does.
as for the front, the oil pan, and the crossmember will touch first. and the stock spindles must be sectioned and/or holes in the towers.
and when it's all said and done, the center rails on the unibody will before the jack points. but by then you'll have tubbed it, z'd it, channeled or sectioned it.. so this won't be anything serious.
take it from someone who's been there.. that extra 2 inches just is not fucking worth it. it'll have just has much wow factor and you'll feel just as low without all the down time and fab work.
easy way is to go with a 15" wheel/tire combo. then just screw down the coils and roll out.
cut a hole in the front strut towers to avoid bending wheels.

Agreed. Go with a 15" wheel/tire combo. I did it with my Civic too. By the way you can find here great project cars. I bought my Civic here https://abetter.bid/en/car-finder/ty...da/model-civic
