    Wind the spring platform down the threads on the body. If you've run out of damper travel then there's nothing you can do though!

    What coilovers are you using?
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    If they have helper springs, take them out. Just put them bal fro the mot, helper spring make no difference to the handling etc. You should be able to drop at least 20mm more
