Adjustable Shock Absorbers

[michaeltwomey]

Hi,I'm wanting to increase the ground clearance by tighten up the springs do you have to use a special tool or has anyone a suggestion?

[TheEnd]

depends on ermm... everything.
what car, shocks, springs, tools you have etc

Scroll down in General Gassing and ask in Suspension & Brakes?

Are they coil overs? If so it will be a C spanner you will need.

You need a spring compressor to remove them, and reinstall new, shorter springs. You can't squash springs and reduce their length.
