  • Cut the springs (dumb)
  • Cut the rear shocks' spring perches (dumb)
  • Remove the coilover sleeve's spring perches/locking rings and combine with above if desired (dumb & dumberer)
  • Toss those garbage coilovers and get a made-in-China full coilover setup with shortened damper bodies (not as dumb but not great either)
  • Go with a better coilover setup like Skunk2 Pro-S II's or Progress CS-II's, but you might need to get shorter springs to get lower
  • Go with Koni/GC and use 450 lb/in or higher 6" springs in the back.

Those are pretty much your options
