Default Proper way to adjust coilovers (searched)

I searched for this (Here on VAD and google.) but nothing helpful came up...

Well as the title states, I want to learn the proper way of adjusting/going lower. My suspension/Wheel setup consists of these components-
-Koni Yellow Struts
-Ground Control Coilovers
-205/50R15 Falken Azenis
-15x7 5Zigen FN01R-C
-ASR Rear Brace
-ITR Rear Sway Bar

My car is already low but it wont hurt going about an 1"1/2 lower


If anyone can just point me in the right direction about this subject it would be great. I am 16 and this is my first car, just saying. But i like learning how to do stuff my self...

Ok...not going all the way down just a bit. I'll count the threads down and see if they can match up.

Google this: "coilover adjustment".

Click on the 5th link, titled "KONI/GC coilover adjustment - Honda-Tech".

Read.




I suggest learning how to properly use Google before tackling the (only slightly more difficult) task of adjusting Ground Control coilovers.
