Default Questions regarding Megan Coilovers :LP Series

So i just bought a set of megan coilovers lp series for my 2001 gs300


Currently im maxed out at the front and have about 3in play room in the rear.
Im measuring about 25in from floor to the top of the wheel arch .

Is there anyway to go lower without adjusting preload?
Twisting the threaded barrel up without touching preload and bottom mount? or maybe removing bottom mount and cutting off a inch of the threaded barrel?

i absolutely love the coils, i just wish the front would go lower

Are you referring to the actual threaded shock as the "barrel"?

If the shock is bottomg out in the lower mount then that's all you got for lowering, unless you use your spring but that's not the best option. And if you try and cut the shock, you're looking for bad news.

Barrel as being the thread portion . Is the barrel hollow ? If it isnt i feel pretty dumb at this moment lol . I guess preload is my only option .
