removing locks on coilovers

[xpieceofcralpx]

so i have tokico blues and dropzone coilover sleeves currently on my 02 sedan, the coils are all the way down, and i'm not satisfied with the height, maybe its about two inches from tire to fender -__- is removing the locks going to lower it more? or am i wasting my time? i got these springs for a good deal from another forum, should i just save up for other springs? if so, which ones? thanks in advance guys

Take the whole coilover sleeve off, and twist the bottom collar off. I'm not sure how low it'll make you.

it makes me a sinch off of meeting tire to fender line

dropzone sleeve? Never heard of those.

Garbage coilover sleeves.

Get rid of them, get a legitimate setup. And please don't resort to other half-*** methods that djmerkone tried. When I read the thread he posted about his suspension, I banged my head against my desk repeatedly.

I could see someone removing the bottom collar from Tein coilovers (waiting for Andy's comment ) but when you're already starting off with garbage sleeves, you're going through more trouble than its worth with something that should ultimately be replaced anyways.

ok, so removing the locks would be pointless then. which springs would be a good replacement? skunk2 is what i had in mind. but are you recommending to get rid of the whole set up and get a full set of coilovers?

Yes, dispose of them immediately and get full coilovers. Or get some Ground Control sleeves with Tokico Illumina/Koni Yellow.

Some RaceLand Coilover sleeves would be better.
