Default PSS9 height adjustment: Do I need a special tool?

I'm getting an alignment and corner balance in a bit.

I know with my M3 and TC Klines it came with a handy height adjustment wrench, but IIRC, it's pretty easy to adjust height on adjustable coilovers with any type of tool like the one the TCKs came with which I am assuming my shop has.

Is this true or must I source a PSS9 height adjuster tool thingy?

The PSS9's come with two wrenches to do the adjustments. You might check thru Rennlist and RennTech to see if any guys in your area can loan you a set of the wrenches to do the adjustments. I bought my PSS9's used from another Rennlister and they didn't have any wrenches. I put out an inquiry and Alex from SharkWerks sent me a set (good fellow that he is)....you might try asking around.

So I do need these two wrenches? They are that special or can it still be done with some other tool?

Looks like a very common tool... same as the TC Klines.

I seem to recall that I've seen some sort of pipe wrench that's configured sort of like this....it was used to turn fittings on steel pipe....but these tools aren't that expensive. I believe you can order them from Pelican. If you are going to keep the PSS9's...you might as well have a set of these since they're required if you want to do any suspension adjustments to your car.
