In order to lower your car you must unlock the locking collar to the bottom mount, you must turm the lower mount up in order for your car to lower.

yes, you leave the top two collars alone, unlock the bottom color to the desired lowering point and then grab the whole assembly by the spring and turn it with your hands so it threads into the lower mount. To raise the car up unlock the lower collar again and grab the assembly and turn the other way so it comes out of the lower mount.

evosix explained how to do it without removing the suspension from the car. Just make sure the 2 perches under the spring are tight, and it basically will lock the spring to the shock assembly, so everything rotates inside the lower mount. thus lowering it or raising it
