How much lower was the car after you removed the rear spanners? Would you say half an inch?

If you remove the rear perch, how much lower will it be?

Sorry, I forgot about that. The oem rear looks like a typical strut assembly:



So I thought the D2 would look the same, but with the adjustable lower perch. You removed the spanner-nuts (spanner is the special wrench to turn those adjustable nuts).

I thought the lower support for the rear D2 spring was the top nut, which is locked in place by the next nut down. If you removed both of these nuts, what supports the rear spring?

I thought the lower part of the rear D2 was similar to this random D2 pic:

Typical D2 kit

#loweredlife but on the real found out a solution since my rears have no fender liner wires such as my esp/abs/cruise sensors are easily out and hanging and thus ripped. I am going to buy new sensors soon price is ~200$ what a set back. But drill two holes around the size of a dime or a quarter to the fenderwall going into the car and run a rubber mesh/cover and run the wires through the holes. Mods to come aha
