yeh i want to go lower,depends how much more i am able to chop might just get the front down and see how it sits,or if possible,weld the ends of the springs onto the spring seat

you could grind the top of the shaft down so that the topmount sits lower GM, (and keeps the spring captive)
if you keep it slightly fatter than the thread and open the hole a little, it will always be stronger than the thread itself eh

and mine with complete matiz legs (could be cut more if needed)
