Probably not very. If offset is high you won't get the full adjustment on the coilover, if its low you'll have arch contact.

Best you can do is run the coilovers without a helper spring and bring it down a little more. There have been threads on this in the past let me see if I can dig you one out.

after running without helper springs i wouldnt recomend it.. handling a steering feel was all over the place.

get smaller helper springs.

on the other hand it did lower the front of the car perfect without them.

ive had a good few problems with em but i think its due to my wheels. also i think i could do with new bushes.

there working alright now just need to get the smaller helper springs and everything will be fine.

i could use spacers now and all would be fine but i dont wanna use spacers.
