Lol.

That's the shock. If you cut that, all the fluid and guts will spill out.

Do you have enough shock travel for shorter springs to work?

And are you sure you're adjusting them properly?

Then that's as low as it will go. Unless you're willing to start lowering the spring portion.

The answer to my own previous question about shock travel: No. You do NOT have enough shock travel to lower the springs or get shorter springs.

But if you don't care about how the car rides, you can definitely lower it further by modifying spring position or length.

?????? grammar police alert.... Did English grammar die all of a sudden? Go more low? WTF? go "LOWER".

If you want more low, then cut the ******* thing. If you want to have your car sit lower, then just lower the spring perches so there is no preload. Keep in mind the ride quality will be less than shitty.

lol y'all attacking poor OP.

Extended ball joints would work to lower the car.

I assume it's low as a MF already though.

Extended top hats won't allow him to go lower, it just allows for more shock travel so it's not bottoming out on the top hats.

It will allow him to lower the top spring perch though.
