trying to get lower

hey all, I am running megan racing euro street coils and I'm running into a little bit of a problem. i am slammed to the max on the coil overs, yet i am still having a little bit of a wheel gap. Has anyone taken out the bump stops on these? pictures are for reference as it sits now. center caps are off the wheels right now... sorry about the shitty iPhone quality

I'm running Meagan coils and I'm one finger space in wheels with a lot more to go.. What size wheel you running? I'm running 17's.. Did you buy those new? Right car? Springs to stiff? Just throwing ideas out there

get shorter springs. do a little research to find the specs on the springs, get the same spring rate if you like the ride quality, but get them shorter. they are probably a 2.5 inch or 60mm diameter spring, that seems to be the most common used coilover springs.
