How to lower H&R coilovers?
I bought this car with the coilovers on, don't have any literature on the coilovers. How are they adjusted? And where can I get the "tool" to adjust them?
I need to lower my rear a bit. Thanks for the help!

You need the spanner wrenches. For the rear, you have to completely remove the spring, as the adjuster is at the top in the spring pocket. Once out, just loosen the lock nut/adjuster spin towards the top of the threads. This will lower it, and reverse to higher. Kinda hard to explain. Front is easy, just take the wheel off, and the two adjusters are easily accesable.

Walter is right, the front are easy, the rear are probably best done by a shop as it would be so much easier on a hoist. When you loosen the lock nuts you can use an allen key to fit between the 2 adjusters so you get the same distance on each wheel. Start with a 5mm and go from there.
The wrenches you will need look similar to this
