Hey Guys/Gals,

I got Tien fully adjustable coilovers, they were in my civic when I bought it. One thing though, the front is extremly low and I keep scraping gearbox housing and my front lip etc so I wanna jack the front up a couple inches.

But for some reason I only have one hook spanner, so:

a) Do I need the two to adjust the height?

b) Do I need a Tein brand hook spanner to adjust height?

c) If not, what size is the spanner?

Thanks very much in advance!

Do you know what model coilovers they are?
you may need the two but maybe not, depending on how stiff perches are.
The Tein spanner will fit best but you may be able to adjust with any similarly sized C spanner.

You'll need a wheel alignment afterwards because the toe angle changes ever so slightly as the suspension travels throughout it's range of movement.

Cool thanks for that guys. I'm 95% sure they are TEIN SS coilovers. I'll have a chat to me mechanic :)
