Lowering the Ride Height
You guys using any special spanner wrench on your coilovers to lower your ride height or are you using the old punch and hammer trick. I have an SPF that has a height of about 27" to the lip of the fender and I want to go a tad lower because I think it looks too high.

Most measure from the bottom of the frame. Changing the ride height will effect handling. Just my $0.02

On any Superformance MKIII, I believe the recommended ride height is 27" at the rear fender lip. Any lower, and you run the risk of bottoming out the shocks and that can cause undue stress on the shock mounting brackets.

I run 26.75 all around on my SPF (17" wheels) but I had to redo the alignment on all 4 wheels. Too much negative camber when I lowered it, requiring even more brute force to steer the beast. I don't have the bottoming out problem. 27" does make it look really high, especially with 15" wheels.
Use spanners available at Jegs or Summit.

Use a spanner wrench, available from any speed shop or catalog. I use Paragon.

On KMP 498, I just jack it up and turn the thing by hand.
