to make it lower you need to make the "trumpets" shorter. to do this you have to wind the threaded part "into" the metal cone part.

so as with most threads, you need to turn it clockwise if looking from the front of the car (rear suspension that is).

there should be a second large "nut" on there to lock everything up tight.

and a good tip for getting them level side to side is to measure the exposed thread area.
