First nice log in name. I had a '79 T/A as my first car.

As for the front springs you will remove tension from the spring and turn it counter clock wise to lower it. May seem backwards, but that is the correct way.

Yah man the bolts are sitting flush against the spring. That is as low as it wants to go. I'm not happy with it at all. Might take it apart and make sure I didn't overlook something

Some people don't like it, but I completely removed my front bolts. The spring rides right on the lower A-arm.

if thats where you want the rear to sit,i would just remove the front bolts.that will give it the perfect rake.
