Hook spanner for coil over adjustment

[ztarum]

I have a newer SPF with the Bilstein shocks. I would like to adjust the ride height. I measured the nuts, and they appear to be between the common 75mm and 80mm hook spanner sized. Which size do I need, or do I have to buy the wrench that the SPF dealers sell?

PS - I know the hinge type hook spanner will work, but I really don't like them and would rather have the non-hinged type.

I think this is what you need:

What...You afraid of expanding your vocabulary while laying on your back under the car?!?

You will be changing the geometry of your suspension once you change the ride height. You should get the alignment check after changing the ride height.
I have never used one of those wrenches. I like the using the good vocabulary while laying on the cold cement.

Unfortunately, the spit that shoots UP with a spirited and prolonged use of the F word makes it a messy proposition.

Ztarum,
You don't have to have the special wrench. I used a punch from my punch set. You could also use a drill bit, but I would use a glove if I did that.
