Jom coil overs adjustment
Installed rear coilovers on the vectra cdti, currently they are adjusted close to the top and car is very low tyre slightly in the arch, wheels are 19 inch snowflakes,
if I adjust the mount anticlockwise so the platform now sits lower will the car raise or lower
the fronts have not been fitted at the moment

I have joms and the same issue. They do sit lower at the rear which is a pain as they are quite soft too so any weight at the back causes it to sit really low and scrape over bumps. Ive got some rear SRI spring from my original set up so will fit them and just raise the fronts up

The more you twist the collar downwards, the higher the ride height.

my platforms have been turned clockwise so sitting at the top, any futher and the platform will screw off from the top
so if I turn this anticlockwise then the platform goes down and the car will raise, is this correct

Yes, because you'll be lengthening the spring. Longer springs = higher ride height.

don't have it set too high because my springs jumped off a couple of times
