I have megan coilovers and they are cool.

But the rear coilovers are low. My rear tires are within one ince from fenders when viewed from sideways.
I would like to raise the two rear coilovers. But the bottom of the strut body is already 50% out of the bottom housing. And I unloaded the spring's preload. How can I raise the coilover more in this situation?

You have an inch of wheel gap and you're going to raise it more? mmm ok~~

just loosen up the perch and screw the damper go up and relock the perch.
