Default Anyone in the Germantown, MD Area

Well I have a 97 Civic that needs to be lifted it had adjustable coilovers but It didnt come with the tool needed...anyone in the Germantown Area that can do it at my place or near here...car is so low that the front bumper always hits the ground even at 5 MPH....plus it needs to pass inspection....
Also my 3rd gear grinds like crazy at anything past 4000 RPMs....
Thanks for lettin me know

**Moderators Sorry if in wrong section didnt know if either in here or Meets**

What kind of coilovers are they? Sometimes You can just use an A-Wrench

Tool? You mean the tool to loosen/tighten the coilover, just jack up the car(leave the tires on), loosen the allen bolt, and twist with your hands(might want to use gloves). If it's still to tight, take a screwdriver and hammer and tap the gap in the collar.

Not all coilovers use an allen bolt. Many have special tools you must use (Usually two hook-looking tools) to tighten the clamps together.

You can buy them on ebay for like a dollar. If its that necessary just pick them up there. Make sure they are not Allen wrench coils first though! like you didnt already know to check that hehe
