First i removed the bottom half and spin the whole base down till it couldn't go no more than i loosen up the preload is this the right way? I am gonna have to check it again cause i might be doing something wrong here. I thought to lower it i should put the whole base down instead of going up, am i wrong?

This is my rear set up.



I loosen up the bottom collar and then i lowered the whole base down, then i released pressure on the springs. Is this correct? if i go up all i will be doing is raising up the rear.

The spring should have no play except being able to spin side to side. loosen the bottom collar and spin the bottom base up.

to lower it you need to spin the base where it says "Stance" up (shortening the whole coilover). The shorter the coilover the lower you will get. You can also lower it by lowering the preload (lowering the collars underneath the springs) but that isn't the suggested way of doing it. If you got them brand new the preload collars shouldn't have been touched.
