Alignment shop and coilovers

[Scat]

I recently aquired a car with Apexi N1 coilovers but the suspension wrench for it was not included. Basically the ride height isn't equal at all 4 corners, so I need them to be adjusted. I would also like an alignment once that is done. Any suggested shops or ones I should stay away from?

HANDS BUDDY, USE YOUR HANDS! If you can't get it with your hands, the plastic wrench will snap anyway.

That works fine for lowering but i need it raised. It's impossible to do with my hands.

isn't there a way you can stick an allan key in the ring of the coil? (the thing that raises/lowers the hieght)
me and chunger_11 ran into the same problem, we found an allan key and it worked just loosened the allan key and then started turning it with our hands.

Thanks man
I'll give that a try.

dont you have to raise your car up on a jack before adjusting the height?

and why not just use a regular wrench?

[lam-boy]

of course you have to raise your car before you adjust the height, how are you gonna raise the height of the car when you have like 500lbs pushing down on the spring?

you can't just use a regular wrench..
