did it DUMP it?

the car is pretty low the way it is now, but maybe an INCH more would look perfect.

Run it without the sleeve or perch altogether. Just the spring. Although you will probably have close to no shock travel left.

i'd still like to raise or lower it.

but i thought about that too.....

but in theory, putting the sleeves on UPSIDE DOWN, then when you "lower" the car, the perches would compress the springs.

Honestly if you really "need" to go lower then what most coilovers offer maybe it is time for airbags.
