HUH? I don't even remove my wheels. Why would you remove the front assembly to lower it??? Can you not fit the wrench in there or something?

Lowering coilovers is simple. Take the spanner, loosen the bottom ring. Take the spanner and move the middle ring up or down depending on what height you want. Take the spanner and tighten the bottom ring.

I have 15s with 205/50s which are a measurable amount smaller in diameter from stock size or 17s so i have plenty of room when the car is just lifted a little with a jack.

I have to remove my wheels to adjust the height...spokes are too close and there's no way to get enough leverage on the lock rings from behind...

My wheel arches are 23.5" from the ground on all four corners and still have plenty of travel...two adults and full load crossing intersection crests at speed...never bottom out...rides better than my Cadillac STS4...
