rear coilovers wont go any lower! *HELP**
Problem:
I am currently having issues with my rear coilovers not going any lower. I have a finger gap on both rears and would like to go lower.
Story:
I have Function Form type II coilovers for my RSX and when i first installed them I thought that height adjustment would be done by lowering the springs, much like ground control's. However i soon found out that I was wrong and height adjustment is done by loosening the bottom ring and spinning the shockbody. With that in mind i figured out how to fix the preload by researching the forums, so i raised the spring back up until its snug with 3 full spins as mentioned from this guy,

That was done with the front and back coilovers. The front is fine but when i did that to the rear i ended up with a finger gap. I checked the height by spinning the shock body. It only made less than one whole spin and i cannot spin the shockbody anymore to go any lower. So yea i still have that ugly gap.
Can anybody tell me whats the deal here? Is there anything im missing out? What can i do to fix this???
I know for a fact the rears can go lower as seen from other f2 users so i know somethings wrong
Cliff note:
-F2typeII coilovers, rear not going any lower
-Thought u lower car by lowering spring(preload).. I was wrong.
-Learnd how to lower properly and fixed preload.
-Front is fine but rear left a finger gap even though the shockbody is lowerd to the max (cant spin any lower)
-HELP!
