Use a tape measure, get the measurement now, and see how much it needs to go up, i would measure from the ground through the middle of the wheel to the high point of the arch.
Losen rear wheels
Put on Jack stands
Take off rear wheels, after you have secured it on jacks.
now grab the wench like thing that came with your V3's
Get comfty...
spray down the collar threads to clean it
For the front you will need the 2mm allen key to loosen the collar, this gets spun up to raise the car and down to go down.
for the rear use some muscle and crank on the collar so the collar goes down and the car goes up, might be a bit of trial and error, but it isn't that complicated. Move the colar the distance of height you want...
Put the wheels back on make sure they are snug, put it on the ground, and then tighten them to their proper torque spec.
go for a drive to let them re settle, and measure and see if it is where you want.
Hope this helps.
