Default To all with bc coil ( more problems!!!)

Has anyone know how to adjust this coils?
My rear seems to be so damn low..I already adjust it to the highest settings but still so damn low..


Edit so I drove the car today..
And car is uncontrollable...the steering wheel wiggle like it goes left and right
I feel like I'm gonna hit the car next to me..
Help guys ..

Edit 2:
So I figured out how to adjust the coils
Went to get an alignment and they told me my lowr control arms bushings are shot!

Does anyone know wer I can order bushings?
And what brand? Since I'm changing the arm bushings might as well replace all..
Is there a DIY for this? Thanks in advance

Lol I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to match the front since I can't go that low upfront since fender isn't rolled/shaved yet
Anyone?

Where is ur length measurement or ruler? use them. and use a card to count the spaces of the adjustment.......remember when you are low. your rear always look lower the the front, but they are at the same height.
GOOD Luck!

Slow Cuz It's Low

u have to fix the lower sleeve on ur coil! messure old vs new and have stiffnes of spring in mind and go like 4-5 cm from ur original susp. Losen the springperch so it barly is loose! then tight it up by 3 turns and then lock the rings.
