Assuming DIY coil over setup?
Is the perch wound down as far as possible?
Keeper springs no option ?
Why can you shorten your current struts?

Yeap DIY, can do keeper springs but i still dont think its going to go low enough and retain full suspension travel i found an american forum that had the part numbers for shorter ones so i've gone and ordered sometorqued wrote:Assuming DIY coil over setup?

My old setup was r31 struts with the 1600 perch and an rx2/rx3 spring as there slighty harder.
Have gone to a platform adjustable coilover now welded into the stub housing.
