Question adjusting coilovers?

just bought a MY95 V-LTD which is fitted with bilstein coilovers.......handling is unbelieveable but it sits extremely low on 17"s and the ride is stupidly hard!

how do i go about adjusting the coilovers to a higher setting and hopefully a less painfull ride?

could i do it myself?

thanks guys

Peachy:
Yes, the ride height can be a DIY job, you may need the 'C' spanners though.
Also remember that if you change the height, all the other alignment settings change too, especially toe in/out.
If you can, get the car to a good shop, ie Power Station and have them do it all for you.
The overall effect will be great.

It is then crucial to get the adjustable damping rate tuned to your springs, I think PS can do this too, but it is more involved.
I did mine by trial and error on a race track till they were to my liking.
