Unhappy Function and form coilover type II help

so i bought these used function and form type II coilovers and installed them and got my car aligned and everything but my only problem is getting my recon for my car. I can't pass the bounce test. the car needs to bounce at least an inch and a half. the dampening is on the softest. any tips on helping me pass the bounce test.

well if anything does any one know if the F/F coilover spring rate is progressive? cause if it is then maybe if i just raise my car for the mean time then i think i should pass. i dont want to do it yet that way i dont waste my time.

Springs look to be linear, most coilover springs are.

Do you adjust ride height by raising and lowering the shock or is it adjusted with a collar only? If you use the shock (threaded shock?) there isn't much softness to be gained by raising the height, if it uses the collar only you can make it softer by raising the ride height. Sorry I am not familiar with F&F c/o.

Kind of old but what were the spring rates listed as for your ff2's?
