Yo guys I've had mine on about two months now and they've settled I was wondering if the reason its lower on the left rear than the right is because of my body weight. When they were first put on they were maybe an 8th off but measured thee same on the collars. Any ideas?

They're not Powertrix specific. Any coilover spanner wrench will work. They can be had cheap online for about $10

Looks like I just joined the POWERTRIX group! I figured I would start off 2014 right and buy the 9K/6K coilovers which will be here on the 8th...........

Is there an easy way to adjust height on the rear for the powertrix coilover? What im doing is i have to take it off the bottom mount and turn it. is there a way to adjust it without having to unmount it?

what about bringing the two locking collars together to the middle of the strut, then once they are locked against each other you should be able to use your spanner on one of the locking collars to turn the whole strut shaft without unbolting the lower shock mount.

from memory.. otherwise taking the lower mount out is fine also..

Did you expect top notch quality? Call Powertrix.
