ya I had moved the c clip while the shocks were on the car. It worked like a charm. On a side note I only lowered my front ones and not my rear ones. Have had no problems with this for the past 3 years

well my memory is not as good as it use to be but if I remember right I just used a flat head screwdriver and popped the clip out and slid it down while the car was jacked up. It didn't take all but a few minutes to do

I have koni yellows on lower perch and eibach pro kit springs. Turned out into a pretty stiff very predictable handling car. Good control in oversteer, with a small chance of understeer so far. Of course this was with a good alignment to my specs. I will say with my wheels it makes the car very low.

I want to try this, too since my Koni's are on the upper perch. What is this clip procedure? Does anyone have a clear DIY or pics? Thanks!

around 1/2"
It's closer to 3/4". The perch its self is about 1/2" lower and it's on a lever arm so this translates into a bigger drop...
