i think the suspension is set at 20 out of the box. read that paper that came with it. im not sure though. i didnt mess with my settings either. i tihnk it feels a lil more stiff than sport suspension . i tihnk my rears are at the lowest height setting. i am happy with my setup. now if i can just get my alignment perfect.

I don't think they do, but people have done a spring perch mod or something like that, that allows more lowering by how much you cut the spring perch for.

The rubber piece is replaced when you put on the adjustable height system in the rear. If you pull out one of the collars you should be able to go lower.

So I'm guessing that not all coilover kits replace that factory perch then? I know some people with coilovers are able to do this.

Don't know about all kits, but I don't see many other ways to get the height adjustment capabilities with the bucket as the other end of the spring.

On a lowering spring the spring mount is a great way to lower it with cutting the springs. Redludes guide is great for this.

Drop the spring bucket, take out the spring, the upper mount should have 2 collars. The springs sits on one the other is a lock collar. Take out the top collar and spin the collar the springs sits on all the way up. It'll lock in place at the end of the threads.

I'm running the HKS Hipermax RS coilovers and I removed the lock collars in the rear to get as low as possible. No problems at all. You shouldn't have any problems. It will buy you another 0.25" of drop.

Not with mine but I have front and rear camber kits. Anytime you drop more than about 1" you're going to have a difficult time keeping things in spec without some kind of camber correction parts.
