depend of the coilover..

some have fixed shocks and springs like the spax

some have fixed shocks and low spring's with an adjuster..

other have proper coilover unit's like avo's & some gaz kits whihc adjust like the one in the pic's on the struts

it has say 90mm's rear's, and it lifts the spring up to raise the car

you can never say 100% how much a spring will lower the car - less weight in car = car sits higher

the blue adjuster is in 2 parts one screws over the over one side sits on the original lug for the standard spring the over side goes in the spring. by screwing in or screwing out the blue part you can change the pressure on the spring = higher or lower

how does screwing the 2 blue parts raise of lower it?

where did you get your coilovers from?? as mine are coming from germany?

because the spring sits on the bit that screws out so if you screw it out it makes it longer. when you wind it in it makes it shorter. how is that hard to understand

yea but it depends on the total distance between the top (original) seat and the bottom(original) seat, not the bottom original and the adjuster as what is the part above the bottom adjuster ring? it doesnt just disappear. if you take the adjuster out, thats as low as they will go
