Just order a adjustable spanner wrench off ebay or amazon. I like the kind with notches on both sides so there is more grip.

Hey Alstann,
I just got my KW V3 installed recently and I'm ready to take it in for wheel alignment. I currently have the ride height almost the same as the OEM setting. But from the KW V3 factory recommendations is below: Front/Rear: 9 click and 1 turn from close for Rebound & Bump. As for the ride height, if you didn't measure the height prior to uninstalling. OEM Manual states: Wheelarch Height (from ground to arch) for 19" Front: 27.87" Rear: 27.99" After my install (The highest the rear is allowed to go): Front: 27.25" Rear: 27.3125" Currently drives like stock can clear anything, but since I track my car, I'm not wondering if I should lower it a bit more. Also, anything lower than this, you may have a hard time accessing the jack points without driving your car on wood blocks prior. |

I actually just finished putting my coilovers on my car about a few hours ago! I ended up using an oil filter wrench to turn the adjustment rings for the height, and it worked like a charm with some elbow grease. My car is sitting pretty low - my intentions were to cut all fender gap. In the front, my car rubs on hard bumps and full turn dips, but it's only rubbing on a tiny bit of plastic. After a few hundred miles, I fully expect the plastic to wear away and leave a smooth area. I ended up leaving the adjustments alone - a performance race shop installed these coilovers on the previous owner's car, and so I figured it might be at a good setting. Man, does the car handle like a dream! It seriously is incredible how level and balanced the car feels with these coilovers on - it's in another class. I am looking into getting into autoX and HPDE's myself, so I'd say I'm pretty well set!I'm going in for an alignment hopefully tomorrow - my rear toe is visibly misaligned and my camber is way off! I'm hoping I didn't max out the stock adjustment stuff, but if I did, I'm gonna have to get some bolts and arms. Ah well.

Tried looking to purchase one of these, are they a particular brand... Not showing up in "Adjustable Spanner Wrench" searches on amazon or ebay.
