Are you asking how to lower the car or adjust the dampening? I have a set of LS+ in my garage. The dampening has long hex keys that come with the coil overs. If you don't have those an allen/hex key will get it done. I can't remember if the rears are different, I can check in a couple weeks (Japan tomorrow).
These are partially threaded coils. Read: http://raceland.com/news/how-to-adjust-coilovers.html
So you just back the bottom ring off to loosen the lock, spin the perch ring down with the spring on it and when you're done, spin the bottom ring back against the perch to lock it. In the rear, you'll be able to lower the perch so much that at full droop, the spring won't be captive in the top hat. Probably fine in the US, illegal where I am.
