adjusting rear coilovers? help!!!
Trying to adjust the rear coils on my car. Bottom out the shocks but the height is still the same. The coil ring for the spring is already all the way at the top so I can't adjust either anymore. Did I already bottom out or did I do something wrong?

You probably adjusted the preload on the spring versus the ride height. You're gunna have to reset the preload and then adjust the ride height. Make sure when you're adjusting the ride height the whole coilover spins but the preload on the spring is doesn't move

I spun the shock down just like i did the front coilovers till the point where it bottomed out the holder and I couldn't spin anymore. I didn't mess with the preload on the spring as the ring was already set to the very top. The only way I could mess with the preload would be to spin it down and that would just push my spring down and possibly make my ride even higher.
On another note - The fronts with a minor tuck at 15 dampening has amazing ride quality.
