Default Adjusting Konis

Ive got Koni adjustables on my car and have the white adjuster thing, but how do i adjust them?
I know this may sound daft, but the car came with them so havent played around with them. I think the car sits a little too high, especially at the back!
This is my car at central day, does this look like the normal height to you lot?

unless you've got coilovers you wont be able to adjust the ride height. All the adjuster does is alter the damping.
