Default Coilover Wrenches?

I bought a 92 Civic that had coilovers installed. The name on the springs say Matrix so I'm guessing they are Matrix coilovers. The vehicle did not come with the wrenches to adjust the springs. I will be aligning the car myself an will need these to adjust the ride height. Does anyone know of where to get the correct wrenches or others that will fit. I cannot find a website for Matrix and will need these soon. Any help will be much appreciated.

Should be able to go go oreilys and rent a specialty tool. If not I'm sure they have them for sale. Try baxters as well or craigslost

I find this amusing.

A "spanner" is the term the British use for wrench.

Also, these work well and prevent potential damage hammering a screwdriver could cause. And, really anyone who does any work on a car should have a few anyway.

Yup, we service a number of different brands, and try to stock replacement parts as well as service tools. Our universal wrenches are quite popular, and we make sure to keep them in stock. We also offer rubber boots, isolators, and many other replacement shock parts for our dampers, and many others.
