Remove bumpstops
Remove sleeves/adjusters completely
Cut holes in front strut towers for control arms to come through
???
Profit?
Oh wait, that's my setup...
Ummm... Buy full body coilovers.

Car didn't get any lower?!?!?
My bad for the late response, I got some pics of the ride height the only logical solution I see is to cut the bump stops out... I don't want to though cause the 5-7 day thing ehhhh idk cars getting no lower even though it's only been two days but when I did the front it went down instantly ??

Rear on Sleeves ALL THE WAY DOWN with the bump stops in ( http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0098009/photos/31762228@N03/8328136191/ )
Front All the way down, no bump stops ( http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0093009/photos/31762228@N03/8329194740/ )

Also the front tends to be lower than the rear, if you want a flat drop your gonna have to remove the bump stops... It's stupid, reason for it being called stupid low.... But I doubt the rear will ever go as low as the front without modification.
Also are the sleeves resting on the spring perks? Sometime, mainly when you use sleeve for other cars, the top of the sleeve isn't sitting on the top of the strut like it should.

Yea your right the op of the sleeve isn't flush with the top of the strut but I just looked and the bump stops are preventing it from going lower So ive got three options on is two are fairly stupid but I will say them anyways
What's my best bet .....??
1. Take off one of the perches for another 1in- ish drop in the rear
2. Keep both perches and cut out the bump stops
3. I was told this by a friend..... Take out the coil take out one of the perches, and leave only the bump stop, the spring, and one perch

Re: Car didn't get any lower?!?!?
If that's the case, you're at the limit of the shock travel and therefore have no suspension travel left. So you now need to get a shock or coilover with a shorter body length. Coilovers usually do a better job at this because things can be packaged differently without having to worry about compatibility with an OEM type spring. So get to buyin'...
