Coilover help
Hi all, I bought some Megan coilover's to replace leaky airbags for a Toyota Celsior AKA 1990 Ls400 and only recently put the front's in and adjusted height by undoing bottom coilover ring and adjusting the height (Left it unbolted at bottom so was easier to adjust thread) then bolting it in and securing the ring again.
The car sits too low though and I'm pretty much maxed out for ride height as it's high as will go whilst still being threaded 30mm deep into lower bracket as required.
So how high are these supposed to go normally and what can I do to overcome this as it needs to come up about 2.5-3 inches.
I was thinking of extended lower brackets as have seen megan selling them 25mm extended for Nissan 240sx think it was.
Cheers and thanks for any help. I searched and searched but everyone wants to lower the coilover's not go higher.

By the way I didn't touch preload as it seemed to be already done outta the box and am worried adjusting it will mess up the ride making it rough. It's pretty good upfront and all I need is more height.
Stock tyre's 215 65 15 and some tyre rubbing going on and barely any wheel gap, plus the shocks feel like they bottom out over bad roads/potholes.
I love the handling with these coilover's as the roly poly body roll is lessened and car stays flatter through corner's.
