Default Illumina/Coilover Help

So i just installed my tokico illuminas today

the front ones went in just fine

but when i got to the back, my skunk2 coilover sleeves did not sit all the way down like theyre supposed to

So now my car seems lifted from the back!

is this normal?
will they ever fall all the way in?

thats why ground control narrows down the sleeves for the rear. fits perfectly. custom designed for each car.

skunk2 doesnt know, doesnt care, doesnt fit. neither does any other generic adjustable spring kit.

So will they ever fall in?? (because it doesnt fit by about a tenth of an inch)

Because if the sleeves are going to stay where they are, i can just adjust them to lower me back to how i had them...

Im scared that ill lower them now and they fall in when im driving....

Lower it where you want it and if it drops down, raise is back up, its really easy to make height adjustments.

OK what i wound up doing was just turning the sleeve upside down and it fit just fine

I was never asking about adjustments

Thanks Guys!!!

This is what I was referring to, but it sounds like you figured it out, good job.
