Looking at the photo, what should I do to get the desired results?
Judging from the color of the rear shocks, they look like KW coilovers.  

Follow Malsal's recommendation and it should give you some additional height.

Screw the purple locking ring on each side counterclockwise until you reach the desired height. 

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.
