Lowering rear using factory spring plates?

How do I identify the eccentric nut on the factory spring plates?

I am looking to lower the car as much as possible without pulling off the plates...

Last time I had it checked I was told the drivers rear has less weight than the passenger rear. Hence, I want to lower the passenger rear.

TIA

I belive the eccentric bolts are the two at the botom (apex) of the "U". The first bolt hole (closest to the rear of car) is elongated, while the second bolt hole is not. If you are going to play with the torsion bar and/or spring plate settings, I would recommend that you scribe a line around the bolts and spring plate to make sure you can return things back to factory settings if needed. Also, I know you can raise the rear that way, but I am not sure that the factory spring plates allow that much, if any adjustment for lowering the rear. Just my $.02

Freefly is correct in identifying the bolt - you loosen the front, and then HOLD the rear one with a special narrow wrench, loosen it, and then turn one way or another to raise or lower. It should be pointed out, however, that this is a fine adjustment. If you are looking for a significant change, the plates come off and spline adjustments are necessary to get you 'in the ballpark', then fine adj. with the concentric bolt.

I read a post from Warren a few month back. He said that the eccentric nuts are only there to raise the plates to counteract the sagging of the torsion bars over time.
