b13 suspension

hello,
i need help i want my ride to be slammed like 1 inch from chassis to ground.
i bought ground controls and agx, i lowered the gc all the way, but its still to high to my likeing (3inch from chassis to ground). Does anyone know any other way to lower the car without changing/ damaging(even though lowering to much can damage the agx) the gc or agx? or does anyone know where they sell extended top mounts for b13's?
thanks

If you lower your vehicle by more than 1.5" you will fuxor the suspension geometry and cause premature wear or failure of your other over-stressed suspension components.

You are WAY TOO LOW already. I cannot imagine how horrible your ride comfort or control is. You realize you currently have ZERO suspension travel? Right now, before you sit in your drivers seat, your vehicle is sitting on its bumpstops. Assuming you used bumpstops.

Might as well just weld in rebar to the height of your liking, and ditch your struts and springs altogether.

Without changing suspension pick-up points (welding/fabricating) and re-engineering your entire suspension, you CANNOT lower your car as far as you wish.

Best of luck to you.

Your AGX's are currently screaming in pain at that ride height,and they will very shortly die.I would imagine your kidneys and spinal column will soon follow.Not to mention hitting the oil pan and/or front crossmember on every bump available.Please raise your car back to a workable height.

You need to get coilovers. I have megans and I think they are pretty low.
So in order to be as slammed as possible, remove two collars off the front coilovers and adjust the back to as low as you want. after about 500 miles, the springs will settle and car will lower another .5 inch.
