Default bc racing adjustment

Can someone confirm or tell me if this is correct on adjusting bc racing height. I know how to lower but wanted to make sure on how to raise.
to lower = loosen bottom ring and turn the top ring clockwise
to raise = loosen bottom ring and turn the middle ring counter clockwise?

some people are saying to turn the tube to raise but since it's already on the car I'm not able to turn the tube in the rear.

I tried turning the tube but was not able to. I saw that youtube video but it doesn't mention how to raise the coilovers.

If you know how to lower do the opposite to raise the vehicle.
To lower: you thread the lower mount UP the shock body
To raise: you thread the lower mount DOWN the shock body


I never recommend trying to adjust your suspension while bolted p, you want to at least loosen the top nuts and completely take off the bolt holding the suspension to the spindle.

It may take a little lower but it will be easier to move the lower mount also make sure nothing gets damaged as you are moving these components around.
