The longer you make the links the higher the car... but you have to let the car re-level by having it on the ground and unlocking or opening a door to actually see how much it changed. also it helps to drive it around the block and measure then try again.

As long as your car was level from left to right when you started, adjust each of them the same amount of turns each. I've found that 1 full 360 degree turn of the links higher or lower translates to almost a half inch of ride height reduction or addition (atleast on my car... I'm not sure if we have the same adjustable links)

But you definitely have to get the system to relevel before measuring again and a drive around the block should help with that since it will settle.
