keron Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 hi, ive just brought these the other day, but there is no spanner to adjust the height on them so does anyone have a spare that they want to sell me (or give to me ) or does anyone know where to get one from? thanks keron. p.s tried big mole grips and does not work very well!!!

michael Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Aren't these spanners fairly generic amongst suspension kits? If so would it not be possible to get one from somewhere like Demon Tweeks? I'm hoping to have bagged the other set of these from the JIC clearout so any feedback would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 they seem like a good kit. i fitted mine yesterday, but the only problem is no having a spanner to adjust them so the car is still sitting high until i get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashpoint Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Give tein UK a call 0870 606 6543 http://www.tein.co.uk/ say you lost it or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Is it just a C spanner? .. the local 'bike shop might have one that'll fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 there r two, u need the other to stop the locker moving with it, and to lock it back up again when u get the height u want. i think they r pretty standard. they wouldnt cost much to get a set or two made. i can scan mine if u want, see if they fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keron Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 i tried a pair of grips but no joy. i only got one to turn so far! also you need two of these spanners to adjust dont you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 With the car jacked up and the threads cleaned and greased you should be able to almost turn the adjuster seats by hand unless you put a lot of preload on the springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need4Speed Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Mole Grips, Hammers, Christ I'm not letting any of you lot near my car... What are you all? Plumbers. Suspension C-Spanners from Tweeks are only a few quid. I've got some stillsons otherwise... Hey you could save another 50p by organising the C-Spanner group buy. I can't believe I'm reading this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike shops are much more friendly than your average car ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
