I was thining the same thing...just cut your springs. It is what the domestic guys do.
I hear you on wanting to drop the car and not pay the money but this is why there are issues with it. Have you jacked the car up to see if there is any damage? I am wondering if you stripped the seat right off and it is now just sitting there. I know that it is overused sometimes but there is a reason this stuff is expensive and it is the R&D...you gotta pay to play (I know I did not just say that
)
Be careful man.

But I believe these springs were engineered by a reputable company for safe road driving.
i jacked up the car yesterday and looked at the seat and it was at the bottom of the shocks so i guess what happen is after i hit those big pothole there was so much force coming down on suspension it blew the seat right off of the knotches in the stock KYBs but the coilovers were fine so the failure here is the stock KYBs seats i didnt know the seats werent welded arent they all suppose to be welded to the body of the shock?

I know what cut springs will do to a car and the ride its just as bad as getting those ebay coilovers.

Unless the shock is just an insert, you cant or dont want to weld it. For sure it will blow.
Sounds like the coil over kit you used didnt fit around the shock well, ether bend the clips on the kyb's, or just plain destroyed them. Time to buy some new kyb's, and put some regular drop springs. You want lower, get real coil overs, not tein street stuff that you cant drop much.
