Default How do you further compress the spring on a GC coilover setup?

On my GCs, the perch is raised up so there is preload/tension on the spring. The problem is, however, that i can't get it any higher! And with such short springs, I can't imagine using a spring compressor when the whole setup is mounted on the car. I would like to be able to raise my car when going on long drives. I've seen a tool for other types of full coilover systems, but does GC have their own?

Or possibly, is there any ghetto rig method?

what height are your current springs? If you cant raise the height of the ground control sleeves anymore you'll prob need taller springs. At one point I had 8" springs i nthe front and i was able to raise my car well above stock height if I wanted.

I dont know if GC has a specific tool for turning the spring perch but i just use an allen wrench.

If you need new springs here's an awesome place to get some cheap. The first pages are really old but the later ones are updated.
