Default Need help with Coilover height adjustment

hey!! does anyone know how to change the height of d2 racing coilovers without taking the whole thing apart and manually moving it in circles and putting it back together again? Some reason no matter what i do, my coilovers seem to make my car so slammed that my fenders resting on my tire lol. I've had a very very frustrating friday trying to get these coilovers to work in the front. If anyone has had these in the past or still have these and can help me out , please chime in! thanks!

thanks for the tips guys! i managed to install it all, but now the only problem is that my right rear coilover seems to make this constant clunking noise whenever i drive. Also when i hit big bumps i think it bottoms out too :/

You probably didn't tighten the nut on the pillow ball. Figure a way to tighten it before you wear out the Teflon bearing... Then it will clunk until you replace the pillowball assembly
