you cant adjust the ride hight only the softness/hardness of the dampers but putting that little tool on the strut tops and twisting it

you would need to change your springs to adjust the ride height or buy some adjustable coilovers then you can set the height to what ever!

You would only have to get new springs to lower your car. The koni dampers are well up to the job.
