That's where the extended sleeve comes in.

Do you know how suspension ride height is set? I think we may need to clarify a few basic coilover adjustments for you, because I think you may be misunderstanding some fundamentals.

Ride height is set by adjusting the body against the sleeve. An extended sleeve allows for a longer coilover assembly for a larger range of adjustment.

In this case, the CSG FLA is specifically designed with a short sleeve to allow for a reasonable drop. You need a longer body because your drop is already achieved by the knuckle.

Drops, in theory, need roll center correction. Your knuckle already corrects the roll center change for you.

You literally have the best of both worlds, and just need a longer damper body to finish it off.
