o adjust the rear height the subframe needs to be lowered to release tension on the adjuster otherwise it will just spin in place when the spanner nut gets turned.
wow, that's a major design defect! There is a stainless shim between the spring and the adjuster, yes? There also should be a torrington bearing at one end.

Nope, when you try to adjust it, the whole thing just spins in place. I agree, a design flaw. You still get customizable height, just a pain in the ass to get the exact stance you want. I got “lucky” if you can call it that, and only took two attempts to dial in the stance I wanted.
