sleeve all the way down in the cup then you can adjust the ride if its for a coupe you have to have it about a inch above the top of the cup or the tires hit when you hit a bump

if those are ebay coilovers your probably going to have to buy new struts soon as they will probably blow out.

also don't forget about setting camber, toe, and possibly getting an alignment when lowering a car.

That's as far down as they will go. I have a buddy who cut his cup to get the adjusters to go down more, but it doesn't look very safe to me.

if you want them to go down more just take the adjusters off.
