Surely to make it higher you would turn them left? I'm not 100% sure but just try it and see :)

Another problem that i have is that it didnt come with the tool to turn them with, so i think the only way i can adjust them is to jack the car back up, undo the shocks lower the suspention down then when the springs have droped from the chassis then they can be adjusted, but i wont know how low the car will be untill everythings back in place, if its the wrong way i'll then have to repeat the whole process again :(

Hmm just buy one from eBay? They are called a 'c spanner' should be less than a Tenner :) the rear sprigs take 5 mins to get out and back in again... Just try it on 1 side first
