    H&R coilover adjustment

    I wanted to lower the rear on my 2000 4.2, but can't find a definitive answer on whether or not height is as easy as just turning the spanner wrench.

    some articles I read you have to turn an allen key at the bottom, read another that said you can just use the spanner, and another that said the entire coilover needs to be removed. it'll be up on my lift this weekend, so I wanted to try to tackle dropping the rear 1/4" or so.

    thanks in advance.

    on H&R coils on the 2.7t, it's just a matter of using two spanner wrenches. One that works the locking collar and one that actually does work. Thats it...unless its seized then it's super annoying.

    I hate it if the collar's by the upper control arm in the rear. It's annoying to get the wrench in there but other than that it's super easy
