Default Height Adjustment of Tein Flex

I just recently got a set of Tein Flex full coilovers on my DC2. I'm trying to adjust my ride height and am having trouble getting the 2 sides of the rear of the car the same. I adjusted the Pass side with NO problems. However, when I try to raise the perches to the same height on the Driver's side, I get to a point where the perch will NOT MOVE!

I'm used to how the Ground Control sleeves work....when you jack up the car, you completely unload the suspension....is there a way to unload the suspension more on these coilovers? It feels like I'm hitting a sticking point in raising the perches due to the springs being loaded.

Anyone ever run into this?

you dont spin the spring for tein flex, you rotate the buttom cup where it connects to the control arm for height adjustment and tighten with the perches. They do this so there is better rebound and suspension travel. Just make sure you preload the spring first then adjust height with a measuring tape.
