Ground control owners chime in.

My maxima has had these recently installed, and with both collars maxed front and back, the rears sit lower than the front.

Is there a way to increase the drop in the front slightly?

Not sure which way to go forward.

Car is on tokico illuminas as well.

You "could" cut a coil off but them being flatwound at the ends, will introduce new problems. I would have suggested you remove the collar but that's worse.

Find a pair of shorter springs and ride the bumpstops or switch to full coilovers with a shortened body

Check your remaining shock travel on the fronts just in case to prevent bottoming em out. IIRC aren't the Illuminas regular length, not shortened?
