Default How to use coilovers

Hello,
I'm running teins HA on my sc, currently it's at highest perch because i'm heading out to Chicago tomorrow. I tried to lower it with the wrenches while the wheel is on and i can't reach around my wheel (18x9). Yeah i had my wheel completely turned, is there something i'm doing wrong or its not possible to do it with the wheels on.
Thanks.

Take the wheel off. Thats the only real way to do it right.

I cannot think of a way possible for you to lower or heighten your car without taking of the wheels..

Just curious;
How did you get it all the way up without taking the wheel off in the first place?

I put it all the way up before i installed it lol. For some stupid reason i thought it could be done without removing the wheels. This was before i put them on of course lol.

unortunately you have to take the wheel off. i know on some ground control setups you can adjust the perch with the wheel on.
