I use a Moroso unit that I got from Summit. It's adjustable and gets the job done, but sometimes it becomes a two hand process.

-Dean #747 (upgraded with Bilsteins)

You can get them right from Bilstein. But remember, you need 2 - one to hold and one to turn.

thanks for the replys,

looking at my coil overs i dont see bilstein on them anywhere, they have the "superformance" name on the spring with some number and they are black. I called bilstein and the guy asked me what size, i tried to measure the larger ring and came up with 77.5mm. anyone know the correct size of these things? guy at bilstein said there was 2 diffrent size wrenches, i dont want to order a set and they be the wrong size.

also if i want to lower my front end, do i have to compress the spring or extend it?

The size isn't that important, I have a couple of different sizes and they all work just fine. Just get a set from Jegs or Summit and you're done.

The larger of the 2 sizes work best. Also you would need to extend or loosen the spring preload to lower the ride height. Don't go below 26" from the ground through the wheel center to the fender lip. It will mess up your camber setting too much.
