I tried search& Google nothing Coilover ppl need ur help

I tried searching here & Google nothing came up on pss9 rear installed pictures.

I took my car to a local shop to get the coil overs installed, after driving for a few days, there seems to be a noise coming from the rear left or right side... i put the car on the jack stand, i noticed, my coilover adjustable area is underneath the springs. My qs is, is this right? or they install my suspension wrong?? How the hell in the world can i adjust my height if my adjustable part is underneath the springs.... sitting inside the rear control arm.... any one here happen to have a link or picture of the rear pss9 install pictures? any help would be greatly appreciated

Although his videos of a KW installation on a C55, your Bilsteins are similar.

The adjustable perch sits atop the spring.

So, in order for pss9 users to adjust the heights in the rear, we have to take out our rear lower control arms that is insane amount of work....just to adjust the heights wt*. since the springs sits on top, and the adjust rings sit on the button, there is no room to use the wrench tool on the ring..... any one have a detail pictures of REAR pss9 install on W203 Cclass? 320 C32?!?!
