i think i want to lower the front of my car... once i remove the suspension, and disassemble it, how do i move the spring perch from one groove to the next? I only have two grooves. TIA!

Default There are probably 3 grooves. The other is covered by the perch. Just push the perch up

after removing and use a pliers to move the clip down to the lower notch.

Default Push the perch up?

You'll at least need to compress the springs (perhaps you were just assuming he already knew that, but best to make it clear). You *might* be able to do it on the car with the cheap spring compressors, but you'd be better off removing the spring & shock and compressing them with a good spring compressor.
