what kind are those? is there no way to adjust the perch or whatever you call it. it looks to be sitting up SO high.

Yea i dont know if u can remove those, ive never tried. Eitrher way u shouldnt have to do that. I wanna say you got the wrong application?
If u wanna work with the ones u got i would say leave the lower spring perch out (the one thats on the coilover sleeve). That will allow you to lower the top perch all the way to the bottom, thus lowering your vehicle.

or just use the spring ditch the adjustable part. Why didnt you get a good set of lowing springs, they work better and will handle better than those cheapies. If you are not going to get the car corner weighted whats the point of coil overs?
Springs are too stiff?? not sure. i had some ebay coilver and had the same problem. front lower and rear way higher. swap the fronts to rear and vice versa. got it to sit nicely. only problem was i couldnt raise the rear much. only went to like 3 finger gap.
