Icon4 Coilover Help

Hello, I have a 95 honda ex that's lowered on coilovers (not sure what kind) but they only have 2 adjusting rings and I'm not sure how to adjust them. If anybody knows or has seen a video online I would really appreciate the help.

You need 'coilover wrenches' or perhaps an allen key to loosen the rings. They 'lock' together against each other.

Now, nobody can help you unless you take a picture of your coilovers to show us what exactly you have. If they are dirty, clean them first, as markings/coloring can help determine what you have.

You most likely have traditional locking collars which are a butt fit. As stated above they lock against each other. Picture a bolt and taking 2 nuts and turning one counterclockwise and the other clockwise locking them in place against each other. Those can be a pain to break loose. If you don't have the wrenches, we've got some universal ones on our site. Good luck. I'd make sure to have a good sledge hammer handy to help break them loose if they haven't been adjusted in awhile.

You could also use a LARGE flat head screw driver to break the bottom collar loose, it's not ideal, but will work.
