I did a search but coulndt find the answer.
To adjust the front ride height, I understand that you need to turn
the collar below the lower perch.
But do you raise the collar to lower the ride height or the other way around?
thanks

Lower

If it is stock, those are not really for ride hight adjustment. You won't get much there. They were to balance the car.

actually i switched to m033
and trying to set initial ride height before alignment

Makmov

Has the car settled yet?

I would make sure the car has settled before doing your final tune on the ride height.

And then yes screw the large adjuster down will lower the car.

for some reason i have it in my head
that lowering the collar will move the wheel further away from the car
thus raising the height of the car.
In other words when we put shorter springs on the car the wheel is higher in the wheel well, so lowering the collar is like putting on a longer spring (i.e., raising the height of the car)
do i have it backwards?

Unless you have something weird going on. lowering the bottom spring perch should lower the car. Yes?

I don't know how you could possibly put a shorter spring in the car and have it sit higher than it did before.

You are going to still have the same distance between the spring perches.

I could be wrong but I a pretty sure it's down.
