hello all

Last time i went to adjust my cars height on the rear myself I didnt realllly have the right stuff to do it. didnt have big enough spanners and my adjustables didnt go big enough. and mole grips etc arent really suitable as theres not muchh room to play with whilst doing it.

Can anyone give me a basic run down of how they adjust their hi-los on the back and what tools they have used. going to go get some more bits after work today but want to make sure I include the bits so i can do this!

Cheers all

Just a couple of spanners, they are huge spanners needed I know that, forgot size though, had to take the wheels off because I couldn't find a way for the life of me to adjust them with the wheels on.

yeah taking the wheels off etc isnt a problem

anyone know the sizes to adjust?

I take it the locking nut and the adjusting nut are the same size?

EDIT : they are mini sport ones too if that makes any difference

It depends on what hilos you have.

My adjusta-rides require 1inch spanners. Both nuts are the same size.

There's a bit of info plus a photo here: rear suspension
