Default how 2 adjust function form coilover type 1 (DC5)

i just purchased a set of function form coilovers for 850 the other week... i installed it today, the fronts are about 1-2 finger gap... but the back is slightly tucking with the spring snug... i'm tryna raise the back about 1-2 inches more... anyone hav any experience with these ??? i was thinking of spinning the shock body towards the left... do u guys think that'll work ?? yes i know this thread sounds so noobish, but i needa get this done asap... any help will be much appreciated

I don't kno if u seen the dc5 application but theres only 2 perches... the one the spring sits on and the one that locks that in place... if I spin the one that the spring sits on towards the right, as the spring gets compressed more n more, doesn't that mean the car will get lower? I set the spring to the point when the car is raised on jacks, the spring is perfectly snug, not compressed but no free play for the spring to move up... anyone kno how to raise these?
