Default Ordered N Received Koni/GC's...GC's came w/ no wrenches/adjusters?...what to do?...

hey guys...i ordered and just received some koni yellows and ground control coils for my 95 civic hatch...the konis came w/ all the stuff n all that...ground controls did too, according to what was pictured onthe companys website, although i didnt realize until i received them that, well, the coilover set didnt come w/ those adjustable wrenches or that other stuff...it was just the coilovers themselves...

...am i missing something? were they supposed to come w/ them ? am i screwed because i dont have em? or am i just a complete moron? a couple of my friends who have had coilovers before said that their sets came with em, and mine should have...can any1 help?

You do not need any wrenchs to adjust ground controls, just losse the allen bolt and spin them by hand.. the tighten the allen bolt.

you only need the spanner wrench if you want to preload your springs...i.e. is you are trying to get the car close to stock ride height or if you have shortened shock bodies.

Just to let you know, I think its a 3/16 inch allen key to adjust as that I am using right now (cant check as the key is in my car ATM). Just got to home depot and buy the set. I paid about 5 dollars for the set.

Hey man, see you got the suspension. Nice

I still have yet to get mine installed. I might actually only put it on next year, after the winter is mostly gone. IDK yet. My suspension right now is pretty shot. Plus it makes the car feel like a shitbox, like it makes it rattle inside.

Did you get rid of your rims for that?
