Is it really safe?

whats your take on it? does it really affect the
quality of the suspension?

If you're planning on slamming the brackets together and maxxing them out, they would both act like collars and won't go anywhere. That's just what it seems to me; I'm no expert. But hey, look on the bright side, your car will be slammed.

so, just to be on the safe side how many collars would be safe to remove? if you have 3?
would two be insane?

well i have megan racing coilover and for some reason my coilover body strut has like 8 inches of thread lower but my friend said it wont affect anything..

the collar that the spring perches on can be tightened directly against the lower mount for maximum lowering.

what i did, aside from other shit to attain lowness was:

i just tightened the spring perch collar to the mounting bracket cylinder so they would act as locking collars (like others said), and then i threaded the collars back up under the mounting bracket.

although not because i was worried about safety or anything funny, but rather so i wouldn't lose them if i were to sell the car to a homosexual individual.

so you could do that.
