Rear Suspension Problem

ok I have a problem in my rear suspension, its with my coilovers. The top metal disk that sits ontop of the spring is resting on the top of the shock when the car is lowered. This makes a very bumpy ride. Yet there is still and inch between the tire and fender well and the coilover is down all the way.

So the questions:
1) Is the top disk of the coilover supposed to go around the shock or hit the top of it?

2) How do I get it lower?

3) How do I get some of my ride back?

*Note. Shocks are not blown.....yet.

once you mess with the suspension by lowering it your ride will be worse. If you want to fill wheel well gap you could raise it and put monster truck tires on it.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
