Here are bolts for the rear

If you are all the way down on the fronts, there is nothing more you can
do...

BTW, your shocks will settle in after a few 100 miles...

Peace

Every time the car gets jacked up it will take some miles of driving for it to settle back down. Shocks shouldn`t make a difference on ride height.
