Be careful doing height adjustments:
1. ALL dampers MUST be set the same.
2. You may upset the suspension settings.
3. Go too low and it'll roll MORE, not less.
4. Difficult to put back to standard once you start messing.

If you know what you are at, fair enough, but you don't sound as if you do?

I done 4 lots of coilovers on 2 scoobys and skylines but never bc s that adjust ride height by spinning the bottom of suspension leg? But surely u don't measure them make sure same amount of threads then fit everything see if happy if not all off bottom bolts out spin them again then rebolt to the hub again etc .

you can slacken both lock nuts and tighten them together and use them to screw the damper through the bottom mount without disturbing top or bottom mount
