Default Ground Control coilover spanner wrenches?

Anyone know where I can get a set, or ones that will work? My CRX came with a set on it, but no wrenches anywhere in sight =[

As far as I know, GC's don't use a spanner wrench. Mine have an allen set screw in the collar, and if you loosen that up and the collar still doesn't want to spin, you can bump it a little bit with a flathead screwdriver and hammer. Also make sure the threads are clean before you try to adjust it.

You don't need one to adjust them (just loosen the allen-head pinch bolt and turn the perch by hand), but you can purchase the correct size spanner wrench from Ground Control.

i think you can call GC and order one. I use the old flat head and a hammer trick to budge them, then spin by hand.
