Coilovers

[ShaunB]

Guys,
Who could raise the height of a car that has coilovers fitted?

I'll not go into all the detail, but they were fitted against my better judgement, and person who fitted them on the car is no longer available.
The car is way too low and will not pass MOT like it is, and as I understand from said garage, the rear springs will rattle with all wheels off the ground because its too low.

I had the car in a garage recently getting serviced, but they didn't seem to keen on touching the coilovers.

If I remember correctly the make is JOM and they're from Euro carparts.

Edit: Ideally as close to Carrickfergus as possible, but if it needs to go further afield then it will.

any mechanic should be able to raise coilovers, it's a simple process. Unless they're seized, but even then with a bit of heat and brute force they usually move. Worse case scenario is they'll have to be taken out to be freed, if they're super seized.

Can't see them being seized, maybe 9 months on the car.

It’s a simple job, wheels off, use the C spanners to adjust the height and then re-fit the wheels.

If you've access to a lift you could do it yourself in less than an hour. If not, any mechanic will be able to do it

Thanks for this, are they decent guys then?

I doubt that my daughter was given those C spanners, but presumably they are standard size things, or there are alternative ways to turn them?

Thanks in advance
