Default What kind of coilovers are these?

When I bought my car it came with the suspension done. I know the car has tokico blues and but the coilovers I am not sure. Let me know if anyone can recongize these. I also want to adjust them so i can lower the car more for the summer. The previous owner didnt give me a tool. Where i can get one that will work with these.

if there's a junkyard around you, look there. i occasionally find the tools there.

as for the exact coilover make/model, just look at the print on the coil, should have a part number or company name

do most spanner wrenches for coilovers vary in size? I ordered some for my apexi coilovers, I got the address/number for a local dealer off of the apexi website.

go to any automotive store, get 2 " spanner wrenches" thats the right tool, if you cant find it in a automotive store, a motercycle store will have them, its what they use to adjust rear sag on bikes

I just went underneath the car while it was on ramps and took these pictures. they are supporting the car weights and the car is not on jacks, i think thats why they are like that
