You are going to have to get a new tool. If you have Ground Controls then you might be able to get another allen key from the hardware store. But if you have the normal coilovers with the dual locking perches, then you need the tool.

Just use a tapemeasure. I just measure the distance from the bottom of the coilover sleeve to the bottom of the perch. Then I measure the distance from the ground to the edge of the fenderwell. Making sure the tapemeasure goes through the middle of the rim. But that's just me. Counting the # of threads is not very accurate, because that's what I use to do.
