depending on what type of springs u have, with some springs u may be able to fit a spring compressor between the coils and compress then, and then adjust the circlip to change the height at which the spring cup sits. otherwise if that fails u have to take the whole thing off... as in the, the whole shock assembly from the car

to be safe , just take the entire shock out again ( only 2-3 nuts and 2 bolts front and rear....quick) , take off the top and adjust the clip with a flathead screwdriver or similar ~ reassemble then reinstall

As far as I know... Koni YELLOWS and REDs are only DAMPER adjustable. To adjust height you do it with lower springs.. or with a coilover set.

But on their own, Yellows are only damper adjustable.

Height adjustable only to certain points.
I think they come out stock with 3 circlip grooves of adjustment? You can machine more however if you really wanted to...

2 Circlips of adjustment. If you wish to have a different height you can actually have additional circlip grooves made to your liking

... i did say 'as far as I know' didn't I?

Newer models did come with 2 or 3 notches of adjustment and possibly an External damper adjustment if you want to be specific.

And as benn said probably better to remove the shock, adjust and refit.
