Default Adjusting Coilovers

Just got a set of Coilovers for the ride, Im new to the adjustable suspension. First of all why are there two locking rings???, and second when you adjust the locking rings how do you tell that all have been lowered/raised the same amount???, since there is no measurement device..........

well, I sell this device for $50 that will help you with the measurement... Its a special device made just for prelude coilovers so you can adjust them.. Email me if you would like to get one... Or, just go out and buy a ruler! Measure it that way! Sorry, jackass post 3 this month...

Counting the threads worked best for me. Just count the threads to make sure the front right is level with the front left and the rear right is level witht he rear left. I also lowered the rear of the car more than the front cause the stock height on the rear is higher to me anyway. Its lowered but I still have alot of clearance and its leveled.
