By sleeve I meant the sleeve that goes around the bottom of the threaded damper. Not cutting through the damper itself. By trimming the sleeve, I figured you could thread the collar down the damper further.

But yeah, the obvious answer is shorter springs.

Also, don't discount the fact that you're a full 1" smaller on overall wheel diameter. It will look a good bit lower using "correct" wheels. This is particularly relevant given the HUGE (and ugly) wheel wells of these cars. Even 18" factory-sized wheels/tires look way too small.
