Default Need Help Adjusting BCR Ride Height!

What's up CL. As the title states, I need some help adjusting my height on my BC's. My friends have helped me before but have never taken the time to fully explain how to do it so that all sides are even, so the one time I did it myself, one side was lower lol. If anyone in the 626 area can help me lower it like a half inch it would be much appreciated! Beers will be on me :P Need this taken care of before Saturday! Thank you!

Measure the height from the top rings to the bottom ring and subtract say, half a inch. and just do it to both sides and make sure they match.

The only way to truly do this right is to measure the height from fender to the ground on each corner then adjust accordingly. I usually count the threads on the coils from the bottom to the locking collar to get a rough estimate, then drop the car, settle the springs and measure. If you need help, I'm in the west covina area. Shoot me a PM.
