t1r b-max lowering question
i'm running a set of t1r b-max coilover and would like to lower the car a little more. I did have professional install these for me and that's why i'm not quite sure how to lowering them.
I know alot of coilover we can lower it by turning the 2 rings on it, but i'm not sure about this one. (I believe I will have to take the whole coilover out and adjust)? let the pic do all the talking. hopefully someone can help me out on this.

Option 1: Shorter length spring would allow you to go lower.
Option 2: You could remove the jam nut that isn't really doing anything at the moment and move the lower perch down about ~1/2 inch. Ideally, you'd want to make the spring perch act as the jam nut for the lower mounting clevis (blue piece), but that may result in lowering the chassis too much.
As a disclaimer, removing the jam nut may not be recommended/allowed by the manufacturer. So remove this component at your own risk. I'd probably use a shorter spring.

Right. But you're out of threads, which means you can't go any lower without altering the hardware somehow. How much of a drop do you have right now? Best way to describe it is by measuring the distance from the hub center to the metal fender edge at all four corners. Stock height is around 14.0" to 14.25".
^ If there were any thread, you will see this (thread) between the upper end of the blue fork and the silver jam nut. You can google search other coil overs and you will see the threads that everyone is talking about.
