coilovers on the back of me goof are as low as they can go and it does sit quite low but could be lower is there anything else i can do to drop it more?

Im presuming you have checked that the rear suspension still functions at all and isnt resting on the body? I wont comment on what I think of the idea of going so low your suspension wont let you go any further :rolleyes:!
If its not touching, buy some shorter springs and remove the helper springs if you haven't already. These are about the cheapest people I can find for new springs ont tinternet (if anyone knows anyone cheeper, please let me know!) http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/index.php?cPath=465_1152_1153_1160 though you may have to spend a bit more on better quality springs to get shorter ones than you already have. i.e. http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/COILOVER-SPRINGS-FAULKNERS-2.25%22-I.D./c12_13_130/index.html are about the cheapest for shorty springs Ive found. The 2 1/4" springs may need a bit of modding on the mounting collars to fit as they are probably a tad smaller ID than your existing ones but its only a mm or so.

ta for info m8 :)

Oh, forgot to add, if you are that low, be carefull as the spring will probably be unseated when the suspension is at full extension as it is, let alone with shorter springs!
-
use small u bolts to clamp the springs in place

Check it's not sat on the bump stops!
