Can you cut the threaded tube at all? Would be easier than trying to accurately mill the inner out

Thought about shaving the bottom threads, but it would still be too wide. Plus I would rather not mess with the shock itself.

The Megan website lists the rates, valving, and length of all components for all their coilover applications, so if it does not work out I may just get replacement shocks for some other car that are shorter but still have the same rate and valving.

Codyace is right, Its probably easier to cut the outer threaded tube to be shorter, rather then trying to get a big drill bit in the bottom of that mount
