    Ok, so the PO had installed a set of raceland coilovers in my gli, they seem to ride decent for how cheap they are, and are working well. What I would like to know is how do I go about raising up the rear coils? Seems like its very tight to get the spanner took in to crank the them up. I've never had coilovers and want to get familiar with working on them. Can I take the assembly out easy enough so I can turn them up a bit? What's involved? Thanks alot, any help is appreciated.

    if its the same as koni, or fk's, just jack the back of the car up and you should be able to get half a spin at a time. dont even half to take the wheel off. It is a pain, but if you do it right you only have to make small adjustments once in a blue moon.

    Ok, so if I'm under the car looking up, I will have to spin clockwise to go up,correct?
