what i did was loosen the bottom nut then disconnect the 10mm both that secures the bottom of the rod to the control arm and the you turn that black piece until you get the desired ride height. the shorter the rod is the lower your car with sit. if you need more adjustment the you can loosen the top nut also. remember the shorter the rod the lower the car.

step 1: Diconnect the rod from contorl arm.
step2: move bottom blot of rod upwards to desired position.
step3: attach rod back to control arm.
ALSO ARE YOU PLANING TO ATTEND THE NY MEET AT L.I.

no, first lossen the nut then disconnect the rod from the control arm. then make the rod shorter until you have the desired ride height and you only have to loosen the top nut if you run out of adjustment with the lower nut. you'll see what i'm talking about once you start. you'll have to connect the rod back to the control arm and lower the car and start it up to see where the car sits.
when and where is the meet because i would like to come!!! how far is it from the bronx?
