Default Dumb slammed question

Right now I'm on Koni sports with GC coil sleeves and GC extended top hats on all 4 corners. I'm pretty slammed but still want to go lower if possible, in the front at least. The bottom of the threaded coil ring is flush with the bottom of the threaded coil sleeve. Can I go a bit lower and hold on by about 3-4 threads instead of 5-6 threads? Don't know, it sounds iffy wondering if anyone has done this before

there is a circlip around the body of the shock that you can remove and place on a lower portion of the shock.

which will let the spring go another inch lower on the shock, which will be another 1.5" lower at the tire.

But I'm sure your upper control arms will be smacking the shock towers before then, if they aren't already.

Why in the HELL do you want to get it that low anyway? Maybe for a show or photo shoot where you're not driving, but that's pretty dumb to ride around on the street that low.

Yet another victim of fashion I'm afraid, it's a sort of irrational car cult fetish...
