Yes they are, and by however much the GC Housings are shortened by. 2 inches?

What's your current spring rate?
I'm putting the whole picture together and it doesn't make much sense.

If you sectioned 2'', and have the adjuster set to where it was before you sectioned the housings. Theoretically your car will be lowered 2 full inches without adjustment.
Now, you say it's all the way down on a 6'' spring though right? So unless your front rate is like 700, your tires should be tucking fender(because you are now 2 full inches lower w/o adjustment).

If you get a 5'' spring, and your housings are sectioned 2'', you can have your coils adjusted all the way up and your valence will still almost be kissing the ground..

Something isn't adding up.

I can get pics, but thats what doesn't make sense to me. Everybody I've talked to says they're lower on stock perches w/ the kit. And I only have 400 front, albeit it is the m42 not the m20. Still though...

Wait, did you section the housings or just trim the stock spring perch off?
When I say section I'm talking about cutting your strut tube in half, sawing off 'x' amount of inches, and re-welding it back together.

Sorry, could have worded that better. I sectioned the housings also, since I have the konis. Could it be that the Konis are adjusted fully stiff? I can't imagine that be it... Ill get a pic For reference.

Yeah, get a picture.
A 5'' spring on sectioned housings is near impossible.

Alright I'm taking the wheel off now. The 5" spring is what Byron suggested, but its expensive as F**k.

I can see that working if your housings are sectioned like .5'', maybe 1''?

:o

[FunfGan]

Well how much shorter are the Koni's?

[F34R]

You're going to get a 5'' front spring to be mated with Bilstein Sports?

1+ Seems he is going the cheap route and not going valved Koni and shortened housings. That is just going to cause him to bottom out the Bilstein sports and blow them.

So Stuart, do it right man. Just message me on facebook and we can chat it over to get YOU LOWWWWWW ;)

P.S. I see you on r3v right now, sign into FB and tell me what you want to get that front end to look like.

[FunfGan]

Hold up, could it be my camber plates? They're massive...
