Default Help with oem spring and coilover

I am having trouble figuring out a way to run the factory 370z springs on a coilover with a lower spring perch meant for 2.5" springs. The z has 3 inch lower spring increasing to a 3 3/8 upper. If i knew someone that could fabricate a cup with a 2.5 inch inner diameter or create a threaded perch with the the larger spring in mind. I could run a big washer but would have to find someway to keep the lower spring isolated.

Why not just get correct lowering springs? Here is a list Lowering Springs Comparisons and most you can find for a couple hundred.
