No change after coilover installed?

[Servo]

Hey guys, this is the first time I've bought coilovers and at the moment I'm not really impressed by the drop, or maybe you can help me correct something that I'm doing wrong?

When I first picked up my car from the mechanics they were able to drop the front by 20mm. Which gave the car about 10mm gap between the wheel arch and tyre. However they didn't touch the back because apparently it wouldn't go any lower and to probably wait until it settles before trying to lower it again. Car sat like a wedge which wasn't bad but it wasn't want I was after. I wanted it low all around.

So anyways did a 7500km service on the car today and it's been about 3 weeks since I got the coilovers installed. So I thought I'd try to lower the back again. I was able to wind the screws down about 20mm has has made no difference in height. I measured from the ground to the wheel arch and the front is 595mm and the back 655mm. Still sitting like a wedge . Am I doing something wrong here? Just also curious if they've installed it properly?

Here's a pic of what it looked before I wound it down:


And after, wound down by 20mm and wheels on:

The second picture is with the suspension raised up. The first is at the lowest setting.

Lots of folk remove the adjusters all together at the rear and seem happy with the resulting drop.

So I was doing it wrong! Thank you for pointing that out. I'll probably take out the adjusters then.

Thanks again, very much appreciated.

with that set up, you have to be sure to mount the spring perch securely to the chassis: ie, drill-tap-bolt/ weld.
