Your local hardware store should have one. They're called set screws.
If you tightened it pretty good it might of loosened up.
A small dab of some blue loc-tite would keep it from happening again.

Here is my 8 finally dropped 
I really could use some help finishing up my adustments ... the question is, what is the easy way to adjust the rear coils? The front ones I can use the spanner wrench
Ps. Add me to the owners list

Loosen up the coilovers (idk the correct term) then i spun the shaft thingy on the inside of the spring. I measured it with just a measuring tape then went to the other side and tried to match. (again idk what to call this stuff).
lots of trail and error

The rears are easy to adjust
Loosen the top nuts/bolts just enough for it to move
Take the CO off the knuckle
loosen the middle (smaller) collar
spin the bottom shaft left (down) right (up).
I like to take the spring off and use the locking collar as a guide to how far ive gone.
takes time to dial it in, if you want to get super precise then you can spin the top shaft so the bottom hole lines up.

Got my rears on, finally on all four. Been riding with them for about 2 weeks now.
MAJOR improvement. Car feels much better and grounded - finally I know what it's like to take advantage of the Hankook RS-3s.
Still gotta adjust them to get the stance i want but they're well worth the $$$

Just installed mine saturday.. fronts are perfect, rears are a bit low. Anyone know how many turns they did to get about a finger width above the fender? Any help is greatly appriecated :D
I would do trial & error but the 2 projects fill my home garage (1 on stands & 1 rotisserie) so I am confined to the shop were I get a hour each night and need to be in/out within that time.
