Have you removed the collars? There's 3 under the spring.

One that the spring actually sits on, one that locks that collar under the spring, and one that locks on the lower mount. If you are maxed out and all the 3 collars are touching each other, you can remove one or two to drop the front another 5-15mm depending on how thick the collars are.

Example:

This isn't an s13 but you get the idea. Remove collars B and C, then drop until A is resting on the lower mount.

That is an option I was looking at. I have silk road coilovers and the bottom collar is very think as opposed to the flat spring perch ones.

Just to clarify, you don't want to drop the spring perch down to the lower mount, you'd want to raise the lower mount UP to the spring perch. Or else you've removed all the spring preload and reduced the amount of stroke available. However if it's the rear, the only option is to droop the spring perch.

YES! This is correct, apologies. I forget this isn't common knowledge.
