jack the car up. take the tire off and adjust the perches ( the thing the buttom on the spring sits on)

count the treads on the coilover and make sure they are the same for each side. the front and back will be different so count the front and back separetly

instead of counting threads, you could use a tape measure. it may take a couple tries before you get it where you want on the ground

Counting threads is a very inaccurate way to adjust coilovers. If you are just adjusting the coilovers for appearance reasons, then a tape measure will suffice.
