Default Need to adjust my coilovers

I need to adjust the height of my rear coils. They are even height in the back, but the driver side rear perches won't go any lower, but my passenger rear has lots of space to go lower. (i want to be slammed ) Thanks in advanced.

how is it that your car is even in height but the passenger rear can still be adjusted but the drivers side cant?

by doing that, wouldnt the passenger side be lower than the drivers side now?

i have the tein flex, i think it's the shock height not the spring height. do i have to remove the whole coilover to adjust the shock height? or can i just adjust the lower perch where the lower bracket is?

perches are for preload, you have to adjust the shock length if you wanna lower or raise the car....

you're probably lowering the perche. you need to turn the black piece with all the threading. thats how you lower on flex's. the 2 green perches are for the preload.

you got pm back.... oh you said you need alignment too, if youre that off, i would suggest doing corner balance first before alignment. if you do alignmet now, it will change a lot when you corner balance later.
