R32 Gts4 Mdu Adjustable Coilover Adjustment?

[Live it sideways]

Hi ppl,

I brought a set of mdu adjustable coilovers for my r32 a few weeks ago, had to wait for the gtr bases for the rear before I put them in. I have adjusted the rear as low as I can get it which I'm happy with but the front is nowhere near as low as I want it, I want the tyres tucked under the guards and it is still sitting quite high. I adjusted the coils up as far as they would go and then adjusted the bases up until they met the springs. Have I done it wrong? I have never had adjustable coilovers before so I haven't done it before. Is there a way to get it lower? I was thinking of taking the bases off, measuring the depth of the thread in the base and measuring the thread on the strut then cutting the difference off the base to get it lower. Is this a dumb idea? Hope I have made sense in the way I have explained what I'm facing?

Any helpfun info would be great.

Cheers
