People with GroundControl coilovers. HELP!

I have GroundControl coilovers on my 97 Maxima and my problem is that the front ones are on the lowest setting possible BUT there is still a big wheel gap (about 2") and it doesn't give me the lowered look that I want. I pretty much just want to get rid of most of the wheel gap and I have read on several websites that your could "trim the stock seat springs for added range of adjustment". Has anyone ever done this? Is this safe? What are my other options? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I only have the stock 16" 5 spoke SE rims and I don't plan on buying rims because I am very happy with the stock ones. The 2" wheel gap is really an eyesore. What can I do? Trim stock seat spring? Get new shocks? Please HELP!!

its almost impossible to get a 4 inch drop without bottoming out. with those 16s you wont be able to get that real low unless you bag it or do a custom lowering. normal aprings only drop to 2.5" at the most.
