How and why are you adjusting the screws? The way it's suppose to be done is that you screw the screw all the way in, and then you turn the spring retainer out until it touches the surface it will be resting on (with stock setup, the top of the side links). To achieve that, I used aluminum spacers to give me the exact same setting on both sides (I believe 4 or 5mm). If you run the side links on an angle, you will need a longer screw and more spacers to sit the spring down on the chassis directly.
If you want more tension from the springs you need to get stiffer springs. Compressing them by turning out the screw retainer does not change their rate.
