was wondering if anybody has a set of coilover wrenches i can borrow? Put my front coils in and they are WAY to low for a DD/street use (at this point in time). Not sure if the make or anything like that matters?

people who put metal to metal and hit it with a hammer like you suggested to do. use a coilover wrench and they stay looking mint.

they were already beat up, old JIC coils… maybe 10-15 years old? lol. Just used some massive slide-locks on them, no problems yet (tho i think one of the shocks has already blown… saving up for brand new ones this time)

who cares if your coils dont look ‘mint’ when was the last time you cleaned your lock nuts? hammer and flat will work fine be careful and you wont damage them
the tool your looking for is called a ‘spanner wrench’ may help your search.

nobody, tapping dosent hurt anything
although if you beat on them with a sledge on the other hand…
