Has anyone tried running no spring perches?

i recently installed skunk2 pro c coilovers and i love em, the only problem is that it isnt low enough in the back. so instead of cutting my perches i was thinking about just getting rid of them all together? has anyone ever tried this?

okay! i just got done with messing with it! heres is wat i did, i ended up taking out the bottom rubber thing, and replacing it with some all weather rubber floor mate (its skinnier) then i just removed the 2 black lock rings, and jsut used the spring perch. then i took the smaller ring and put in on the spring perch in the middle of the spring so that the 2 can come completely apart, this ensures i will not loss a spring on the free way!
before: (i was super disapointed at the rake)

after: (hard to tell in this dark photo but its much better!) and i lowered the front!


here is another!

are those knockoff visors - is it just me, or do they look a little weird?

The Mugen visors are kRaZy priced I saw @ J-racing 269.00 for 2.00 of plastic? If they are the 25.00 knock offs they still look good.
