Default Tokico Blues w/ Skunk2 Coilovers

i just put on my tokico blues with skunk2 coilovers on my 92 DA tegg. i didnt get them with the spanner wrenches.. i tighten them as much as i can by hand and some ghetto tools around the house lol. but now my ride up front is higher than the back.. i want to lower it so its even but how do u adjust them the right way and measure.. i seen a few videos on youtube but the guy talkin bout corner weight and scales and what not.. i just want to kno whats a good height to drop and clear for daily driver and street use on semi rough roads

I have about 1/2" of clearance between the wheel wells and my tire on my EF. Here in Atlanta the roads can be pretty rough and I've found that it gives me enough clearance for most of the stuff I come across and I've only found one speed bump that rubs the underbelly of the car a little and it just barely hits. My personal opinion is the drop it so that the wheels look like they're flush with the wheel wells but I don't know what kind of ground clearance that would give you on the tegg.

As far as adjusting them, my method probably isn't very accurate or at least not as accurate as scales, but I use the threads and count from the bottom thread up to get a good guess when they're at equal lengths. the scales WILL give you a good measure of right height symmetry

better than what i did lol and dont seem like a bad idea.. appreciate the help ima try that out today see if i can level the car off.. another ? any idea why the car would lean more to the driver side the way it does.. someone on HT told me mayb cuz its a older car and the chassis will eventually lean to one side cuz the use of the car in and out or mayb someone fat used to own it... doubt the chassis would do that thought it would jus be springs that do that i duno.. but is it a bad idea if it still sits that way that i raise the left side the car a lil higher than the right or not good idea?
