im not sure how to higher the rear coilovers? ive watched a few youtube videos but they always mention a bottom locking bolt but theres none on here. ive tried to turn the top nuts but they wont turn in either direction :huh:

as you can see in the photo there is 2 cogs the bottom one is a locking cog and the upper one is the one to raise and lower your suspension.
You will need to undo the lower cog completely so it is no longer touching with upper cog from there u can adjust upper cog to raise or lower car.
Make sure both sides are adjusted the same i used a tape measure from a solid point on the car up to the bottom of the upper cog to get accurate height level on both sides.
I done this last night on my own car but yours don't look seized but a bit of WD40 will always help with turning the cogs freely :rolleyes:
Be sure to make sure there is no dirt in the threads before attempting to move the cogs.

ok thanks. will give it another go, think im just feeble! they were only put on the other day so shouldnt be seized. just the rears are rubbing a bit

Yeh should be fine but like i say make sure you clean them threads any dirt will stop the cogs turning and cause lots of hassle for you.

You shouldn't have any problems adjusting them with the c-spanner.
