Default ahhh quick question. coilover problem..!!

ok i just installed some coilovers onto my kyb agx and i lowered the front down off the jack and it sits really high. so i jacked it back up to adjust the coilovers and i set them almost on their lowest settings and it still sits too high. i mean like an inch gap. do i need to cut something off the front struts to lower the car a little more. it is rediculous. please help quick. thanks

make sure that the actual strut assembly is sitting all the way in that metal bracket in the bottom, over the axle...

problem solved. there was a metal sleeve on the strut that would not slide over the threads on the coilover, instead it was hitting the top where the threads bugun instead of dropping down to where i had it adjusted. thanks for the help
