The ride is a bit soft aswell (On max damper) so some stiffer springs would also be nice

No perches in the rear is fine. I went without them for ages. Low as hell though haha

haha do i just take off one of collars in the rears? or do i have to take both out?

How thick is the collar ? If its say 7mm thick and you remove it you will lower the car 14mm as the ratio is 2 to1. Thats cause the spring is halfway along the arm, for the front the ratio is 1to 1.

got a pic of what they look like?

Different models have different rear perches

I cant get a proper picture because the coilover is in the car but this is a rough idea

Personally I'd just take the spinning adjusters off and run like that if you want that low. :)

my one reached 65k km...lol

Here's a tip for keeping rotors unwarped.
When it's raining or wet on the roads, don't sit at a stop with your brake pedal down any heavier or longer than necessary. The hot pads on one side clamping down and the water cooling the rest of the rotor tends to accelerate warping.

^^ good tip!

reps to thy baller.
