problem getting rear to lower all the way

so i just upgraded from skunk2 springs and busted factory struts..I got gc's and yellow konis....anyways when i try to put the rear all the way down the adjuster keeps hitting the gold peice(the cup which the springs sits down in) can i cut that piece b/c it just barely scraps it or will that affect the way the struts performs..

GREAT!!!! by far the best investment so far and i havent even got it lined up...also does anybody else have problems adjusting the rear struts while they are installed...i had to jack the car up and loosten the top bolts so the adjuster would fit in that tiny *** hole where the top of the strut is. is there a better way to do this?

so you did trim a little off the spring perch? did you also have to do that to lower it all the way?
