Shorter Shocks?

[mob]

Hey guys have a problem, when my coilovers are all the way down, my shocks bottom out. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? Does anyone make a shorter shock for out cars?

Literally the shocks, or are you talking about the struts?

Is this on the front or the rear of your car? Because IIRC, you went with coil overs front and rear.

I just wanna make sure lol

well the coil overs use the shock, the sleeve just slide over them. I am talking about the rear shocks. When the car is on the ground, the shock is literally bottomed out, no travel.

Can you swap from conical spring retainers to flat ones to gain some clearance? Or fab different set of lower shock mounts?

shorter spring retainer would help but I need at least 2-3 inches of clearance. I guess fabbing up different shock mounts would be an option, maybe just weld a few pieces of thick metal together? Where could I get a shorter spring retainer?
