Coilover tool help
I have a set of Largus coilovers on my UCF10 and they were shipped without any spanner wrenches. I know this brand is rare in the US, and I can't find a set made for them anywhere, so do you guys know of any brand of spanners that would fit them? This is how the car sits now and I'm trying to go lower... I could use a flathead/hammer, but I dont really want to beat them up

you'll have to take pics of the collars themselves so i can make an educated guess as to what other brand spanners would fit.
in reality, you can use a flathead and hammer without damaging the collars. just put a piece of cloth or tape up the tip of the flathead screwdriver. it also helps that the coilover is at a rested state, meaning not under tension being pushed or pulled on by the rest of the suspension. i found putting a jack under the lower arm helps alleviate the extra tension.
once the collar is loose, i typically can adjust them with by hand. you just need to break them free using a spanner wrench or the flathead/hammer method.
