I posted this in general tech but I should have posted it here so I'll just copy/paste it

Well for those of you who have read my previous post, you'd know that I just ended up with a Civic for free with AEM and DC Sports parts. Well I decided to take a peak UNDER the car today and guess what I have also? Coilovers! My question is, are these adjustable yourself or do you have to take it to a professional whenever you want it lowered/raised? If you CAN do it yourself, how do you do it?

 

There is a tool that comes with the coilovers that adjusts them. Yes you can adjust the ride height yourself, but its a pain in the ars.

 

What would this tool look like? Since I got the car used I don't know anything about anything. As far as I know there are no tools. BUT I saw two things in the glove box that looked like wrenches on crack, but were really thin. Would that be them or no? And if so, how do I do it? I think I want to raise it up a bit until I get some new wheels for it, which I believe I'm gonna go with the Si's, mainly due to the potholes around here.

**Nevermind, those things are the tools** I sound like a total dumbass. lol
