Default need to RAISE my ride height with PSS9

Hey guys,

I'm sick of busting my lip spoilers up and want to raise my car 20mm.

What do I need to do this with PSS9s?

I dont have the "special tool" they came with anymore. ANy ideas? My plan is to get the car to a decent height then have it aligned.

How hard of a DIY is the job and what do I need?

Thanks in advance.

If you have those perch wrenches, it is very easy to do.

The only other thing you'll need is a jack to get the corner you're working on off the ground.

You'll turn the perch up to raise the car or down to lower the car.

You'll need an alignment after you do this also.

The "tool" is also called a spanner wrench. This one from Longacre should work just fine.

It is easy. Get the spanner wrench.
1.Measure height each wheels and write.
2.Lift a car up, measure thread on each PSS9, unlock supporting rings and adjust it up accordingly. (in your case: up 20mm.)
3.Lock the ring.
4.Get alignment.
TRy not to adjust too high. Our cars look so sexy with low stance and deep wheels.

You can also cut your spoilerlip. I gained 25mm...
