^Well maybe I just have to work a little harder to work it loose. I have the Tein C spanners that a mate gave to me which work perfectly. I had the car on stands when I tried to adjust them the first time which certainly helped but just didn't want to force them just in case I broke something. I'll give them another go sometime over the weekend.



Thanks guys.

Ahh no thanks. When I have the some spare cash I'll just buy the right springs.

since the perches are probably aluminum and the collar is steel... they have probably seized together... spray it down good with some wd40, PB blaster, etc. and then let it sit a lil while.. Put some ass behind it and they should break free after that.

Any of you guys know how I lower my stock springs? The silver ring at the bottom comes loose and winds all the way down. The top one (black) doesn't seem to want to turn without moving the base where the bottom of the spring is sitting. So I guess the pressure of the spring is holding it in place. It is loose but it wont turn round. Ideas?

You can adjust your stock supension like aftermarket coilovers?? Wow, I have never looked on my car to see if this could be done. Im going outside right now to see if i can lower the my FD the same way!
