    Adjusting GAZ Coilys?

    Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice on how to raise my coilovers so I stop smashing my exhaust on everything! Is there a how to on here? Apologies it takes ages to browse the forum on my phone so if someone could link me it that would be much appreciated! Also what tools will I need? Thanks in advance
    Also should probably mention its a mk1 clio but using the GTT hubs, cheers.

    Stupid question but if you want to raise the car do you turn the lever to the left or right?

    Raising the platform on the shock will raise the car, lowering the platform will lower car

    I thought it worked the other way. Raising the platform, making the spring compress and therefore lowering the car.

    Ive got my gaz coilovers to set and fit when i get them collected.

    Is there a way to visually check a gaz unit to see if its a ph1 or ph2 unit?

    Adjusting it up so theres more thread showing at the bottom makes it higher, turning it down makes car lower
