Default stance coilover owners I need some help

I am a gs owner but I know alot of you sc guys have these. I just installed mine and I'm having trouble adjusting the rears.. I have them cranked all the way up and even extended the lower adjustable mount (so the strut got longer) and the thing is still slammed!! I'm trying to raise it up.. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

IIRC, the Stance's have 2 ways of adjusting the height. Either by the spring perch or the shock body as mentioned above. One of these is probably still adjusted too low.

check to make sure the spring perch is tight, if not you can tighten those up. mine used to do that but the spring has some wiggle room, bring the perch up so its tight and cant move and it fixes your problem

I have the same problem even after changing the bushings. I have read that people with other makes do too.... I can live with it though... sometimes its a little embarrasing.
