Damn that's maxed out??? That doesn't even look as low as the lowest springs available.. Not familiar with this particular coilover, but if it is oem style, you sure you didn't install it leaving the springmount in? Also you could explore popping a collar to get it lower.

100 Percent sure the spring mount is out. Its sitting in a box in my room lol.

I think i might have to do the collar trick for the rear...

Something doesn't seem right. The Pro S-OC lists their drop at 2 3/4"F and 2 3/8"R and you're not dropped that much. I'm riding on the Pro 5 which only lists a drop of 1 1/2" all around and I'm lower than that with 1 collar removed both F&R.

You should be able to get lower in the back.

maybe our spring rates are different resulting in the height difference?
I took out the helper spring up front and left the locking collars but the rear i took our both collars. Im thinking I should have gone with stance gr+ from the get go.

I'm assuming the "locking collars" are the two pieces used to adjust the height?

I have the PRO-5's and am looking for ways to lower the rear a little more.

Yep the collars are the 2 rings that you use to adjust the height of the spring. If you want to lower the rear you can either remove 1 or both of the collars for what I remember is about another 1/2" unofficially. The fronts you can remove the smaller ring, but have to leave the larger collar on so the spring has something to seat itself on.

I'm speaking from a sedan perspective, but the results on your coupe should be similar.
