Default K-sport airbags (how to adjust?)

Adjusted the front coilover and had to rotate the airbag to adjust the height. Tried this with back and the top of the airbag is stationary. Can not rotate. Thank you for your help.

you adjust the bottom piece. and shorten the overall strut body.



1). loosen the lower ring
2). move ring up to where you want to lower
3). rotate/tighten/shorten the lower body to where you want to stop
4). tighten the ring

vwynn. PM'd you. Do I just need to unbolt the lower body and twist shock to where I want, then bolt back on? Thank you for your help.

Instead of unbolting you can you grab the threaded core and twist it instead.

yeah my gut feeling is that that wasnt the proper way to adjust the front. Last thing you want to do it rip the strut in 2 pieces
