60mm is too low so be thankfull that the ride height is about where it should be. Lower than 40mm and you'll get worse handling and grip than you will by having the car higher

You sure they are -60mm springs you have? The RST doesn't weigh alot, especially at the rear, so unlikely that stripping it will make a -60mm spring set sit at standard height.

Cut 2 coils off them mate... that'll sort ya problem... even try 1 at a time until your happy...
If you dont wanna do that, then coilovers is the only way...

i dont want to cut coils as that makes a harder ride, just want lower ride.
it would be way too stiff if i cut it.
this is how it sits on -60
