You have to turn the torsion bolts. I would recommend getting some good struts up front because the lower you go up front, the worse its gonna ride. I seriously hate torsion suspension.

I found this it was an older thread and it has a pic straight from a Helms. All you need to do it is a ratchet and i think 17mm socket. Its very easy. Heres the link https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=221444

in the front, you can lower about 2 inches, maybe 3, but you wil be riding ON the bumpstops and the ride quality and handling all goes to ****. I never had a problem bottoming out in the rear....

What I did to get my xtreme 3.5-4 inch slammage was pick up some shortened shocks. http://www.truechoice.com them's the shizznit.
