k well there isnt an actual set lowering value and in my past experiences you should be removing the struts completely as easier to compress springs but when compressing make sure done evenly as unclamped side may fly off lol! you want to compress it using spanner my size was quite uncommon it was 18mm and 9mm but all are different you want to compress until tension is off top springseat and then undo top nut holding piston rods with a small spanner then you can dismantle strut and fit the springs. i hope my info is accurateenough if not hopefully someone else can add to it
