If you want to lower the car more in the rear you can get a lower control arm like stance or voodoo that lower the mounting point of the rear strut, effectively dropping the rear.
first of all, thank you
Yup, if I were to "compress" the springs to get the height..I might have done so...
but to "loosen" the spring preload to acheive, would have been a no no.
good to know that compressing would not have helped in this situation
and like you said..
I will be looking for stance, voodoo or PBM LCA's.

Thanks again
