ok so i want to go lower
heres how its going to happen

you have this right, bushing in the middle and nut on top

take off bushing and nut

and your going to cut here

and then you reassemble using new 3/16 thick bushing and new nut that is cut shorter

this will give you about an extra 3/8's drop

also instead of cutting middle bushing, you can go to local hardware store and use 3 1/16 washers that are about the same size as the bushing

your welcome

Don't hate guys.... He is just saying in can be done and posting information. Not a bad thing.

Yea fuck off if you want to flame, maybe 3/8 is all you need.and if you need more you can take out the Bottom coil locker and get another 3/8.

I'm just trying to help people out so fuck off haters. ill go lower for free before I buy new coils

Thanks for the positive comments

Go lower=buy some better coilovers that will actually go lower and perform better.

Problem solved.

New Camber plates would have dropped a little over another 9/16" +
Tein Camber plates have High stack heights because there were designed to be use with a Stock Spring/Strut type set-up to prevent the Top Spring had from hitting the Shock tower.

Atleast my understanding of why the Tein Camber plates have such a high stack height

That + a Shorter spring. And removing the lock collar like you stated.
