on the sleeve, there is a threaded ring that the spring sits on. you should have two spanner wrench things that came with the kit. turn the perch on the sleeve as far down as it will go.

yup, the the next step-

the springs are standard 2.5 inch diameter coilover springs?

if yes, then are they 10 inch tall?

if yes, you gotta get a set of 8 inch tall springs in the same rate.

just take the springs out and measure them, you can get eibach coilover springs in about that size for $65-80 each.
