I think I may be fcked. I have the Ground Contol coilover kit on my 1997 Civic EX. I trying to adjust my suspension to lift the car a little, can't get on the lift at the paint shop. Well to make a long story short, I stripped the allen head bolt that tightens the adjuster plate. Any way to fix without buying a whole new kit? Can I buy just one coilover? I guess I could take the stripped bolt out and put a new one in but I don't have the tools available right now to take off the strut (stuff is in storage about to deploy). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post.

 

it happened to me before. i totally torn the allen wrench at the top of the coilovers. we used air compressor to take out the head

 

i can imagine two ways of getting that screw out. you either saw it off down the split of the collar. or you drill it out. i would recommend you try sawing it out, and youre going to need to do it off the car.

 

I called Ground Control today, they said they can sell me a new adjuster perch for $17.50 plus shipping. So I am just going to do that and not deal with drilling out the screw. Thanks for everyones help.
