You can lower the rear without thme off. Raise car, take wheel off, get a monkey wrench with rubber grips on end (or wrap ends in electric tape), and turn shock body where you would use the wrenches that came with it. I couldn't get the wrenches to turn mine so I made my own tool to do it.
Awesome instructions on how to adjust them if you are a noob like me and were super confused at first which wait it needed to be turned. Link: http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=555322
Oh and my dampening on the rear is all the way soft. I'm about to turn it to a more stiff setting cause I find the rear to be too bouncy.

I posted more detailed instructions for the rears on the previous page. Here they are:
I think I also posted info on setting the preloads on the previous page if you need info on that as well.
No you don't need to undo any bolts.
- Loosen the spring perch rings until the spring is loose/unsprung.
- Loosen the shock body lock ring.
- The upper threaded shock body can rotate independently of the top mount. So, grip the inner/upper shock body and twist. It will rotate freely, and screw into or out of the lower/outer shock body. It can be hard to turn so I use a big pair of channel lock pliers and grip it on the smooth part right above the threads.
- When you have it all the way down (it will stop pretty suddenly), re-tighten the lock ring.
- Re-tighten the spring perches to correctly preload the spring.
- Reinstall wheels, drop car, be disappointed by lack of low.

I was on 18x7.5 +42 with 225/40 Continental tires. Only had rubbing issues with the fender liner up front, set with no gap fender to top of the tire up front & barely tuck tire(just the tread) rear. I'm lowered on B&G RS2 though and can get lower.

Alright so i maxed out the rear where it wont turn no more and i compressed the front to 7 inch 2 rings taken out was wondering if im gonna have a problem on fenders my tires are continetil as well 225/40/18 sitting on 18x8

If it helps, I'm running the fronts all the way down or with perhaps 1/8" of extra spring compression, with 18x9.5 +38 225/40 and don't have any problems with the fenders.
Are your coilovers installed or still off the car? If they're off the car, it would be awesome if you could look at something for me - I have an idea on modifying the rears to get more low. On the rears, it seems that they max out when the inner threaded tube bottoms out inside of the outer threaded tube. I'm wondering if it would be possible to take the coilovers apart and hack off some of the inner tube so that it can go lower. If the bottom end of the inner tube is just a hollow pipe, that should be possible. If it's closed up all the way to the end then you wouldn't be able to cut any off. I'd love to know what that all looks like without having to take one of my coilovers all the way off of my car.

yeah i rub like crazy so i have to uncompress it back to 7.5-8 inch... too much work to take it out and add another ring.....hopefully the rear wont rub either.... sigh....
UPDATED EDITED
okay so i didnt uncompress it but all i did was raise it 3/4 inch is it okay to leave it like that with out adding any rings because im gonna try to get my fenders rolled monday or something??? so right now the spring is compressed to 7inch still and pretty much there is a 3/4 inch gap under the ring to the bottom strut....
