You have to adjust the length of the shock not the tension in the spring.
The spring should just sit on the two lock rings tightly between the top and the seats. Do not compress the spring. The spring has to be seated just tight enough so it doesnt move when the vehicle is jacked up.
Loosen the bottom ring holding the bottom macherson strut leg and turn the whole shaft in or out of the bottom threaded strut leg.
There is a limit for the height adjustment depending on the design of the coilover.
Will demonstrate this to you if you pop by. Pretty cool trick for adjustment.

Just wont to make sure I'm right on this. To lower your coilovers you loosen the height adjusting nut, to decompress the spring (if that makes sense). Instead of tightening the adjusting nut and compressing the spring which raise's the vehicle height.
Right or Wrong??
Thanks.
