Here is the issue... I am somewhat limited on tools and I am trying to lower my car ever so slightly... I have been trying to twist down my rear suspension, and have yet to get it to budge... I soaked the sleve with some PB Blaster,and let it soak. Then I tied using a Tein CO tool(not much luck. Finally grabbed the spring and the sleve it sits on and tried to turn it, no luck. Does anyone have any advise for me? If I can't get it to work, I will just go out and try to find a spring compressor, and take care of it that way. I think that would be the best approach, now that I have discovered my current approach is not doing the trick...[headbang] But, if I could finish before putting the wheels back on, that would be great.
Thanks in advance!

So just to be clear... You have both spanner wrenches for the coilovers (the only tools you should need btw) and can't get the adjustable perch to budge?

that just doesn't sound right, I just don't see how they could be siezed together...
If you can't get them both to loosen up from one-another, I would start with trying to loosen just the lower one. Or maybe fab up some breaker extentions for your spanner wrenches, just be carefull not to break anything...
Just some suggestions... [wrench]

Thanks.... The spanner I was using was from a Tien, and I have koni's..... I know what you are thinking..... my limitation to tool access is just making the job harder. I am going to spend the money on the Koni tool. I was just hoping there could have been a quicker way to lower it before having to buy the tool.
Thanks man!
