haha sorry about the last post i just read it :S so wind the base down to allow the spring to wind down more?
with the base right up there is no room for the the spring to adjust down only up then ofcourse the spring starts to compress and the spring is just captive as it sits now.
to pass cert/wof in nz they have to be captive (have no movement up and down)

You can try taking the lower locking ring out and spinning the rear mount up to the spring locking ring and locking the mount with that one and let the spring sit on that. Wont get you much(maybe 1/4" but right now it sounds like you need to get all you can. As far as compressing the springs to move the mount up higher, thats find just dont go nuts to the point where you can hit coil bind.

think of it like this, cranking up on the base locks will put more spring tension on the spring, it will not really lower the vehicle much because the springs have more pre-tension on them.
it does really rely on how much adjustability there is on the travel for the locks and the overall spring height though, if you lower the locks to the bottom position yet there is still a little bit of tension on the spring still then you are **** out of luck and need shorter springs.

Do you like them so far?... Not a lot of people buy cheap coilovers, and a lot of people aren't willing to buy them just to see how long they'll last. Let us know how long they last... I am just curious. How many miles do you have on them right now? And what type of driving do you most commonly do?
