Yes, is that question, I have 1 finger of wheel gap and the coils on minimum level.
I wanna get more down, what you recommend?

Shorter, stiffer main spring.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.

What you mean? Other spring but more "compressed"?
Because Sent by Tapatalk is too mainstream!

Shorter free (uncompressed) length, higher spring rate.
At least that's what I assume! Diablo Meridian HDi - 125bhp - 73.0MPG - Halfords Wheels

Yeah, but that lower spring is very expensive, more and less the cost of the coils :/

Depends, you can raise the lower spring collar to the top of where the helper spring sits, then remove the helper spring, will have the same effect.

As far as I understand it won't though, the helper spring compresses a good 40mm and doing that will result in the car sitting higher that standard if I'm not mistaken!
