Hi all
Anyone know where I can get a spanner so I can adjust my shocks please

I think Clever Trevor sell one, or contact Nitron directly.

Search on ebay for one, there just C-spanners(bout 50 mm i think)
Can be had for around £10

I assume you mean Nitron shocks? I got mine from Nitron!

Or, you can of course use a 6mm drill bit or 6mm drift, both work equally well. ;-)

A lot of the 'c' spanners are very crude and just have a 'lug' the Nitron spring bases have circular holes, and are made from alloy so are easily damaged. ANd, let's face it you've just forked out £1K for decent shocks, why ruin them with a £5 tool?

Here's the nasty, cheap, C spanner from Demon Tweeks to illustrate the point:

I've never needed a spanner to adjust any of mine. Just take the weight off the wheels, remove the wheel for access, grab the bottom of the spring and the spring set with both hands and turn the whole lot to wind the spring seat up and down. There's minimal friction at the top, and it's always turned quite easily for me.

Remember when lifting that shock height adjustment does not equal ride height adjustment. Something like 0.4cm of shock adjustment = 1 cm car height (or so I've been told, may be different etc.etc.)

Remember that when you change the ride height the suspension geometry will change, if you're moving it by much consider getting the geometry checked afterwards.
