Question tein coilover question??

Hi guys,
I have tein coilovers fitted to my 96 classic, already fitted to the car when i purchased it. I have been playing about with them, trying to get the correct ride height/look that i want. I want to get the front a little lower still but i have run out of adjustment. So heres the question, i have noticed that there are two springs per coilover on the front, a larger one & a smaller one at the top. Im wondering if anyone else has removed the smaller spring, re-assemabled them & adjusted them up a bit to get it slighty lower still? Im thinking of giving it ago, but just thought i'd see if anyone else had also tried this?

Cheers, Super_ted.

are you sure you are adjusting them correctly? as i would have thought that there would be more than enought adjustment to get them plenty low enough. how are you adjusting them??

i wouldnt remove any of the springs cause each springs absorbs diffrent types of bump ie big/small so youll loose the absorbtion factor of the spring and would probably ruin the ride charactoristics and be dangerous mate

Ok well thats what i was thinking, so thought i'd ask. I have adjusted them by winding the nuts all the way down and locking them. Can't see how else you would do it??

Have you gone onto Teins website? My Tein Flex screw down into the bottom bracket that may lower it further.
