I was just adjusting it wrong.....i was basicly making the shock go up higher which made the car hieght go up higher and bringing the spring down lower but it wasnt making a difference anyway. basicly i gotta shortin the hieght of the shock and the ride hieght will come down lower. It sounds confussing but when your actually looking at it it makes sense lol

Every one that gets true coilovers I know never knows how to adujust them.

Ride hieght is adjusted with the red circle and spring preload is adjusted with the yellow circle. From what I can tell so far, preload changes the feel of the suspension. I preloaded mine 10mm and a friend didnt, and mine feel stiffer or firmer.
