Ohhhh see, I know what they are... Just didn't know they were called that I know the we're on there when we took the spring off I'll go outside in the morning and look... Would those "bump stops" make me sit right on top of the wheel on coil sleeves even when they're all the way down ?? I feel like they don't play that big of a role

If you're sitting on the bump stops, that means that you don't have any shock travel left, so that would be the mechanical limit to how low you would be able to go. If you remove or cut the bump stops, you can go lower, but you also limit the protection to the shocks at the end of the shock travel if you do that. I'm going to refrain from giving my opinion about going that low in the first place, because most people already know how I feel about over-lowered cars..

Fabrik8, how do you feel about horrible grammar and punctuation? Does it bother you more then an overly lowered vehicle?

Why do people "slam" cars on sleeve coilovers? Might as well just drive on just the shocks and take the springs out.

Actually works well with koni and ground control setup. Good for the track as well

If you have adjusted the perches all the way to the bottom, try removing them completely and just use the coil and sleeve. If that doesn't work, let the air out of the tires. Shit will be slammed then yo.
