If you want to lower more, you need to trim the top of two mounting points. By doing so, you will have to approach rain gutters and steep driveways with more caution.
I noticed that most cars that had polyurethane wedges, when springs were removed, we discovered polyurethane wedges were typically ground off and gone.
I have not tried but partial trimming of rubber mounting points and reattaching of steel plates using high strength adhesive such as contact cement may survive better than polyurethane wedge.

So, just the pucks at the ends need to be trimmed. Got it. I don't really want to lower it, but just keep it about the same as it is.
What are these polyurethane wedges? This is something the factory fitted? What do they do?
Thanks for the info.
