You say you have them as low as they will go, but in the second image I still see a lot of thread showing. Can you not spin the lower mount into the body any further?

The bolt is maxed out and won't turn anymore as it is physically coming into contact with the damper itself

Shorten the bolt.

Might as well... There is a damn good chance the "shorter" Fit application uses the same shock with a different lower mount - its not like they would actually build individual shocks for two applications that are nearly identical.

Looks like he already has a shorter lower mount than the rest of us with megans, they must have changed it. his looks way shorter than mine anyway. my aluminium red mount measures 3.5" end to end. if some of you have the longer mount and want to go lower between shortening the bolt and having the new lower mount looks like you could get another 2" shorter shock.
