Is there any easy way to adjust the ride height of the bilstein rear coilovers without dropping the whole rear arm...

Re: Adjusting rear bilstein coilovers
It seems that when trying to adjust with the spanners, there is too much pressure on the spring to allow the thread to move...

Re: Adjusting rear bilstein coilovers
It's a pig of a job. Instead of dropping the sub frame. I drilled a small hole straight through the threaded spring holder and welded a long thin metal tool to slide in and hold it in position. Then a lot of patience doing little quarter turns.

Re: Adjusting rear bilstein coilovers
Just realised that didn't sound right. I made a removable tool and didn't weld anything to the spring seat or thread.

Re: Adjusting rear bilstein coilovers
I'm looking to install my b14's in the next week or so. Judging by this thread the rears are a pita so I'm hoping to get them set to the right hight before fitting them.
I want to run it pretty low, does anyone know where i should be looking to set them? Also, how much will they settle once fitted?
