what are we really adjusting....which parts....the bottom rings or the top rings...does anyone have pics? of the lowest settings for front and back?

which to adjust?

This bottom part only (the BLACK RING) or the part where my THUMB is touching?





The orange rings.....?




What about the space between my two fingers?






What are the right adjustable height of the bottom black piece and the space with thread from orange rings? the displacements?

man...i swear i searched the forum...a GOOD 35 minutes and gave up...i click everything post....thanks for the future reference....what i did was just measure both struts at the same height....(on level floor), balance the pillow mounts so they are on straight....measure the gaps (the open space "thread" part) to make sure all equal with a tape measure. Put it in and start adjusting the two rings holding the spring in tight...my only problem was having the fronts lowered too much....it push ALL THE WAY to .5" funny is that it didn't scrap but the tires were rubbing, adjust it to 1.25" in the fronts and same things for the rear, but with height at 2" approximately. I F*CK up the washers on the top of spring with the two fronts because the springs were to low and it came out of place, but i just simply fixed that by adjusting the springs back up to fix the bent washers as best as i could...hopefully this won't be a problem...

I'll post pictures tomorrow when i get back from work. i spilled most of the oil fluid by accident and manage to only lubricate the two rear...i need some more for the fronts---->> anyone know where i can buy some more, can i just use some grease or it has to be that thin oil fluid?

BEFORE pic with REAR:






DON't have the fronts before....these are the after shots.
