Coilover Wrench

I've recently bought a set of JIC FLT-A2 from an org member, however i didnt get the wrenches (which he told me) now i've got a couple of friends with coilovers... K-sports, Tein, D2's and whatnot, im not sure if the wrenches from those coilovers will work for the JIC's im not trying to spend $50 on some coilover wrench if those will work, the coilovers are low right now, just not low enough and i've just recently got the car aligned so im pretty sure im gonna have to do that again... i wanna go as low as they can.. will the adjustable wrench from any of those coilover system work with the JIC?

I've used the JIC wrench on Ksports and D2s before. They work fine. and i'm currently using the D2 wrench on k sports and they work fine also. I'm 97.746% positive that any other wrech will work on the JICs.

One thing I gotta note though, I do like how bulky the JIC wrenches are. It actually does help with tightning/loosening more so than the others.

i dont think u wanna go as low as they can go, if theyre anythign like my a1s i could have the frame on the ground and still have 1/2 inch of tread still to go, but see how u like it, i had my car slammed for a while, it looked nifty but handled like crap, have fun with the new coilovers

this wouldnt be my first set of coilovers... yes i would love to have my frame on the ground and never drive the car again (lil exaggeration) but ride quality isnt my main concern, riding slammed is, even lower than my previous 2K
