Coilover adjustment question... Help!

Ok, I'm outside adjusting my coilovers and I don't know if this an optical illusion or what but the car looks like its getting higher... which way and I supposed to turn the spring seats to lower the car? I know this sounds really stupid and I swear I'm not this dumb but either way I go it looks like the car is getting higher...

help me because evidently I'm mentally retarded...

you adjust the spring seat so that its moving lower, you should be able to tell if its going up or down the thread. if it looks higher when you drop it down make sure the top of the spring fit back into the rubber mount correctly

Cool, thanks man... yeah I'll check the mount when I go back out but after taking a quick drive and hitting a few bumps it seems to have settled out. I guess it just need a little action to get it in place. I was seriously tripping there for a min. lol... up didn't make any sense but after lowering the seats considerably on one side and that shit was higher I was bugging out. Lol all better...

Installed the cusco type II bar while I had the car up. I'll post picks and a review (if I can feel a difference) later on. Gotta go clean up the car tomorrow as well.
