Short Stroke Rear Coilovers

So I bought a set of T3 rear coilovers for my 86 to go with the S13 front suspension conversion I did and I am having some troubles with getting the rear of the car low enough. The T3 are only spring preload adjustable and not body adjustable so I had to droop the rear springs way down to get them level with the front and I am worried about constantly bottoming them out. Is there a short stroke rear shock alternative to the shocks supplied in the kit by T3? I would like to go lower than what I currently have the car set at but I am worried about destroying the shock that is in there now frm having the spring drooped too low. Let me know if you guys have any ideas.
Thanks.

the kyb agx is not that short to begin with...
it should go low enough to properly balance the car.
how low do you want to go..?

How much shorter do the Camaro shocks measure out to over the AGX that come with the T3 set up? I need to lose like 3" in height on the shocks, I like to go low and would like to avoid bottoming out the shock over bumps and running it outside of its proper dampening height.
