Front

front:
1. Pre-load collar- just tighten this until its snug
2. Pre-load locking collar- tighten this against the pre-load collar to keep it from loosening itself
3. Sway bar mount and locking collars- adjust this to get the sway bar in the right place, then lock down with the collars against eachother.
4. is a locking collar for heighth adjustment.
Between 4&5. Heighth adjustment- this will be what will adjust the heighth
5. locking collar for heighth. tighten 5&4 against each other

Rear...

Rear..

1. Pre-load- same as front
2. Heighth locking collar- tighten against the bottom piece
3. pre-load locking collar- same as front
now that bottom piece is what will adjust the rear heighth.

And you can remove #2 to make the rears lower.

You can also check out this thread for more info...

ok i have been messing with 1 and 2. I need to mess with 4 and 5 on the front. What do i then. Turn it which direction? I still have to tighten 1 and 2 so that the spring doesnt move.

Also do i have to take it out or can i do this with the coil on the car?

For the rear, when i wanted to raise it and lower it i turned the top and held the bottom steady and it seemed to work. was that wrong?

Sorry for the noobish questions, i bought them used with no directions haha

For the front you have to loosen 4 & 5 then spin that piece in between to lower and raise it. You have to remove those two big bolts that connect it to the car to adjust the height. i think you can tighten 1 & 2 while they are still on the car.

For the rear you have to spin the big part on the bottom and once again remove the bolts

for the front i will take off those two bolts, loosen it up and twist it up to lower the car and twist it down to raise?
