strut? u got adjustable springs? WD40. or u can be like me and have ur friend cuss u out for not having wd40 on u n using a mallet and a flathead...the coils have grooves where u can kinda forcefully turn them, right? small hits...

if it's at the very bottom, u can't drop it anymore. get shorter springs or cut them

If you have stock shocks with aftermarket coilovers, you may have to take your shocks out (back only), flip the strut upside down, hammer on the spring cradle until it comes of, flip it upside down, and put it back on. This should give you more room to lower it.
