Default Bilstein H&R question

Has anyone ever seen a threaded sleeve made that would fit over a bilstein shock to turn it into an adjustable shock...and replace the lower spring perch? Someone should make these.

I have lowered several cars with springs and have never had one sit perfectly level (side to side). One corner always has to F up the deal.

The cost in the end would have bought a set of Megans. Lowering the car any more than the lower perch and 2" lowering springs would bottom out the shock and kill them. For just ride height, adjustable coils is the way to go and why we suggested this initially.
