I am an idiot

Installed H&R Coilovers a couple weeks ago and slammed it in the rears

Snows starting to come and I need to raise it up in the rear, the adjustment for the rear is below the spring which makes it hard for me to fit my wrench to turn the adjustment around

Anyone know a way around this other than pulling the spring out which is a pain in the ass

Here's how it looks if I try with the wrench right now

Pain in the ass, you need something to compress the springs. First you wash everything to have the thread clean and put some grease there.

Changed to winter tires and wanted to rise it up, but i will visit a garage, way to much work without proper tools.

Managed to rise the fronts up, all the way to the top of the thread without much effort, but the back....thats another story.

Question: i cannot use the wrench on the back, as is not made to be turned by a wrench, but by hand?

Guess I could try and compress the spring but it'll still be a tight fit for the wrench

if you compress the spring , you can take it off, and turn it by hand

Lol ya, if your going to be compressing the spring, then essentially your already taking it out haha

I know, but when I put the springs in I didn't compress them. That was a bitch.

Should have googled prior to install. Rears should be flipped when installed. Makes it much easier to adjust. There's a few good install threads that show exactly how to flip the adjuster to the top.

Drop the subframe and pull the spring ou and install it correctly. Just drop one side at a time. With it already set low, they should come right out.

Dropping the subframe is good advice and not that drastic. Just "mark" where you started so you can tighten everything up again with confidence. This will make it so much easier.

I did that when installing the springs, rear passenger side is tilted inwards, how do I fix it?
The guy who did my alignment only did the front

The wheel or the spring?

Well it seems you got it sorted. I was going to say +1 for the drop the sub frame. Glad its sorted!
