and your going to cut here

and then you reassemble using new 3/16 thick bushing and new nut that is cut shorter

this will give you about an extra 3/8's drop

also instead of cutting middle bushing, you can go to local hardware store and use 3 1/16 washers that are about the same size as the bushing

your welcome

Yea fuck off if you want to flame, maybe 3/8 is all you need.and if you need more you can take out the Bottom coil locker and get another 3/8.

I'm just trying to help people out so fuck off haters. ill go lower for free before I buy new coils

Thanks for the positive comments

New Camber plates would have dropped a little over another 9/16" +
Tein Camber plates have High stack heights because there were designed to be use with a Stock Spring/Strut type set-up to prevent the Top Spring had from hitting the Shock tower.

Atleast my understanding of why the Tein Camber plates have such a high stack height


That + a Shorter spring. And removing the lock collar like you stated.
