Are you just pulling out perch rings? How many are you on in the rear now? One up front one in the rear?

The fronts i took out a perch ring and I'm scared to drive it. lol But the rears, i wouldn't take a perch ring out. There is no way to keep the one ring on the thread with out the lock ring. I would be too afraid for it twist down by itself while i'm driving and ***** something up. lol Scary feeling....

But there's something keeping the one perch in the front from falling off? Or do you mean the break line bracket thing?

i have rokkor tuning coils. perch rings removed in all four coilovers. the fronts are maxxed out. the rears have like 4 to 5 treads left. i just check it every now and then to see if it moves. and so far, it hasnt. so youre in the clear if you decide to remove them.

but honestly, theres not really a point to remove the rears. cuz the rears already go lower than the fronts. unless you want the rear to go lower. haha

Well in the front the thread ends ontop of the bracket preventing it from going anywhere. lol But the reas, just looks unsafe. Hahaha

Yeah, too much work to take it out the rears and remove a ring just lower the rears more than the fronts. lol I'd be scared to do it anyway

It'd seem to me you'd have a slight problem with your exhaust there... But I'm no expert!

We painted it for now. I'm still debating on powdercoating it since we did a hell of a job for spray canning a wheel. lol
