Default How to adjust TEIN coilovers?

I bought a Civic with TEIN basics on them. I have had lowering springs but never coilovers before. How do I adjust the ride height with the spanner wrench? I bought some 15 inch wheels to replace the 17's so Id like to raise the height. Thanks

The coilovers have 3 rings on them. Loosen the bottom most ring. Take your spanner wrenches and tighten the top two rings by turning them against each other as tight as you can get them. To raise the corner, use a spanner wrench on the middle ring and turn it counter clockwise. To lower, turn the top ring clockwise. Remember to tighten the bottom ring when ride height is set, and get an alignment.
