Default Question for those with coil overs
Guys this may be a silly question. I just had some KW coilovers installed and wanted to adjust the height a little, Which way do you wind them to go lower?

you would wind them the way to make the coilover shorter.

blitz is correct, clockwise is to make things tighter, so it would lower the spring. Counter-clockwise is to make things looser, so its to raise the car. You are turning the kwv3 from looking up under your car

Question for those with coil overs-image.jpg

When adjusting the rear do you just wind the bottom bit or do you need to wind the bit that sits right under the actual spring?

All sorted. To lower the rear you need to wind the spring down which in this case was anti clockwise.
