Tein CS coilers old ones adjusting height
 
My SC has been sitting in the garage a number of years and the suspension has dropped back wheels are now on the arches. I did not install the Teins myself originally, how do I adjust the height? theres two rings and this is the rear left when in car. Do I just turn the top ring right to bring up?

You have to loosen the bottom ring first. It acts as a lock. Then you can raise or lower the car with the top ring. When you get the height set. Hold the top ring and tighten the bottom ring back up to it.

Cheers, so the bottom goes left top one right. I don't have the teen tool so gotta bash it :( Will that top one go up relatively easy or is there torque/weight on it

Yes on the direction. You can by coilover wrenches on eBay. You can jack up the corner your working on to help unload the weight. You just have to keep dropping it down off the jack to check the height.

Cheers again, yes I did buy the ebay wrenches.. but different size the ones they sent

Would a spring compressor help to take the pressure off the nut?

Cheers good idea, got one somewhere.

When I turn the bottom nut both are spinning, trying to hold top nut and turn bottom but without the proper spanners is impossible
