How to Adjust Coilovers without Spanner Wrench?

[Farkel]

I'm not quite sure how I'm going to adjust the ride height of my springs once the coilovers are on the car


I didn't get a spanner wrench with them and I can't seem to source one out... Any makeshift method I could use with normal tools?

flathead screw driver, a hammer, and a towel.

ive seen larger wrenches being used...but spanner wrenches are pretty easy to find. what brand of coilover is being used? alot of times you can get ones directly from the manufacturer. also, i know they make generic ones through summitracing.com companies like moroso make them.

to adjust them, i usually get the car off the ground (i usually use a lift.) and adjust...until its where i want it.

Slip joint pliers could also work.

You should def get the spanner wrenches....ones salt and sand and stuff get up in there, it can be hard to crack them loose sometimes

but ya screwdriver works for now i guess

Monkey wrench works too...

Chain strap wrench works the best IMO.

for some reason never thought/used either of these...great ideas.

but yea, you can get them anywhere...like everyone else said, hit up the manufacturer. i know the guys at tein sell so many they sell them at shows/events..

wrap it with a towel, and use chain links

Goto a motorcycle shop, they usually carry spanner wrenches in stock. That how I use to adjust my coilover (apexi)

post up in the local forum see if somebody has a set, you're bound to find somebody with another set of coiliovers like yours that will be willing to loan it to you. You arent one of... i doubt you're that special.
