    Yeah, I use a hammer and a screw driver for my rears. The wrenches wont fit unless I take everything out and you can get it nice and snug.

    do this

    you'll look silly with a bit of reverse rake but it should get the job done.

    but if you insist on trying the raise hit me up for the wrenches. i'm not too big on lending stuff out unless i know you really well but i'll hang while you spin up if we can work out a time that works with my ridiculous schedule

    good offer here, spin up your coils.your chances of passing the "bounce test" are still slim. unless like most fk suspension your coils are blown.

    seriously this is the only way to pass. the paper on mine says it's higher on the front, but to be honest once i got the recon sticker, i haven't gotten hassled by cops since. and i am stupid low, so that's a major cop magnet lol
