Put the adjusters on the bottom of the spring, then the rubber spring pad on top.

Took a hour

for those of us that need to drive their cars in the "salt season" how high can these be adjusted? I'd rather not be driving a 318ti plow...

No, stock rears, will be using porsche 996 rear brakes to match the fronts. If you take the helper spring out, required for anything higher than et23, you can raise it to about sport level.

Updates.

I guess some guys are having issues on the install on the rear. It should look like the pics below, except with the adjuster collar installed.

Mine would go another .25" but im not pulling my rear adjuster, it holds the spring in place. i run 17x8.5 ET13 bbs in the rear, as well as 18x9.5 ET42 with 245/35.

Dont know whyd you want to go any lower. My mdiff is only 2" off the ground and NO jack will slide under the front.
