Here is what you do you screw #1 all the way up than #2 the perch rings you loosen it a few threads at a time till you get it as low as you like than you tighten the bottom one like all other coilovers are to lower them.

here is another pic. The yellow and green arrows are what you are going to move down and when you finally achieve the right height you tighten the lower one to the top. If that makes sense.

Have you tried compressing the springs more till the bottom part can not screw up any more. Cause thats what I did for my fronts. Cause the ones you have the fronts go lower than the ones I have ,but my rears go lower than the set you have..

yea i turned the bottom as far as i could, in that picture he removed one of the perches, i did the same and lowered the spring perch so the spring sat lower and the shock had less travel and that didn't do anything. this sucks. the front is beautiful the rear is 4x4. wanna trade rears?

lol..i was gonna say lets trade fronts! Well try this, instead of lowering the perches raise them so that you compress the springs, which would allow the bottom part to screw up more..you know what im saying.

I get what you're saying, but the bottom is screwed up all the way, it actually hits the bottom of the assembly, screwed all the way up considering it is a closed assembly and not open like the front is for me. i actually am able to lower the front even more! the rear, i really really have to figure this out. it's bothering the crap out of me.
