Sup Alex. I shipped mine to Jon D for the same reason. I'll be getting them back at Expo 8 though. If you're still in need in a couple weeks then you can borrow mine for sure.

i dont know if there is a real difference with the SPOON wrenches from the other brands, but a pair of Buddy Club wrenches worked just fine on my N1s. you sure the Teins dont work? i noticed the teeth of the wrenches only bite at a specific angle which do get annoying when in a tight spot.

Same with mine, at the highest setting, the rear is just tucking behind the rear fender where as the front has an inch of clearance

Thanks for the offers on the other types of coilover wrenches guys

i'm just gonna aim for the wrench that i know is gonna work 100%

It would seem that the fronts can go quite a bit higher than the rears. My rears are at the highest setting and still almost tucking the tire.

Jon, I'll see you soon. Alex, I'll touch base with you when I return.

i remember i used tein, buddyclub, and omni wrench to adjust my N1 when i had it.
for the rear, it's should sit like that. the rear is always no gap and front leave around half to a finger gap. typical japanese setting. if you look at high end tein (super racing, N1) their suggested ride height of rear is lower than the front a couple mm.
