Most coilovers are already pre-set by its manufacturer. on the SS, its usually about 1.5" drop in front, and 1" drop rear. If you want to adjust the ride height settings, use the adjusting wrench and turn the thread collar. After that, get an alignment.

Are you a girl? Because if you are people here will suddenly be much more helpful. Tell you what, just say your a girl and tommorow morning you will have at least a dozen dudes at your place with tools and jack-stands ready to do what ever need done. Though if your not a girl you had better have one on hand to distract them.
