Anyone have any spanner wrenches laying around they don't need? I'm tired of these damn coilovers being bottomed out and the car didn't come with the wrenches. Just need to get it up off the ground till I buy some decent suspension later on.
-
Jack, and large pair of channel locks. always worked for me....
-
Mines got the dual perch design crap. I've never actually had to adjust any, so not sure how tight they are actually on there. I wish I knew someone with a set of OEM springs so I didn't have to mess with the crap.
-
2 pairs of bigass channel locks?

works for me

Civic, 94+ teg springs, chop saw, win. Did that to make my 4door more DD-worthy, and it was tits. Chopped 2-3 coils off from oem '00 GSR's, which made the slightly stiffer spring even more stiff and "2 fingers" between tire & fender. Each coil will have to flex more for a given travel, raising the spring rate more. My main goal was to stop plowing snow, literally, each time I went to work early.
Cliffs: spring rates right between OEM & cheap coilovers = win.

Too much work. Just want something to last until spring-summer till I get a decent suspension or stock replacements. I wouldn't mind a nice decent suspension, but fuck putting $1k springs/struts/coilovers on a $2k car

I will. Why do a shit ton of work to ghetto rig it when an easier solution would be just as cheap if not less?
