Gonna have a go tomorrow at lowering mine a bit more so it sits a bit lower on the new wheels. Not done it before though. Is it just a case of rising the car & adusting the "thing"?


Cheers

if it helps... my platforms on the H&R coilovers require a special tool commonly called a C spanner.

I'll check in my garage, see what tool I can muster up

But to wind it down what else do I need to do? Just jack it up?

Is that it?
