Default Coilover Adjustments for height and Pre-tension

So I have a set of KW's and SPC camber kit sitting in my garage waiting to be installed this Saturday by a shop.

Question is by looking at what I got in the box compared to pics on these forums on the V3 is that they are different. No replacement coils for the rear included. Also, how do you adjust the ride height? I had coilovers on my Subie before and this required unbolting the bottom bolt of the strut/shock and turning the body. Tidious, but only way to do it right. You could add more pre-tension on the coils by moving the collars upwards, but that would make the spring stiffer as well as drop height.

By looking at the KW's, you will be using the oem spring coils and adjust height by adjusting the collar up or down? I tried this and it doesnt seem to preload any more tension on the yellow springs..

This has been bothering me ever since I got em to try and figure them out. Also disappointed there is no turn handle for front Struts up top or easier way to adjust dampner at the bottoms..
