Powered by max coilover wrench pics and measurement?

I'm getting some pbm coils used and the guy can't find the wrenches so figured I'd fabricate my own. anyone got pics of their wrenches to share and can get a few quick measurements for me so I have an idea of what they are like stock? I can't seem to find just the wrenches on ebay or anywhere and didn't want to order them direct from pbm/psm due to shipping. thanks for any info.

i would use that to my advantage on lowballing him though.

but yes, flat head screw driver, and just pound the top/bottom one loose from the other.
be a baller, and pull collars off, and just run the one on MAX low! haha

LMK how they are! wish i could get some Rad coilovers soon, but 35r turbo is killing me.

Terrible idea. Go to the plumbing section in home depot and buy two pairs of adjustable spanners.

My Kei Office coils didn't come with a wrench and those work fine. Plus you don't destroy the aluminum lock rings.

dude, I'm already getting a mad deal on them. he didn't mention that the wrenches were lost until after I made an offer but they are brand new for $800usd. better then the 1k plus 300 shipping from j-land. I have dealt with the guy before and know him a little so didn't want to low ball him too much. they were fitted, judged too stiff, and removed from a car. they are the 10kg/8kg rates but I can buy 6kg springs for $60 from psm and swap the 8kg to the front and use the 6kg in the back for something a little better for daily driving if I feel they are too stiff. we'll see on that, our roads are terrible so might be necessary so I don't destroy my back and neck.

turbo II rotor- thanks for the info. I don't want to bang them up too much. I will probably be playing with the ride height and dampening semi frequently as I live on shitty roads in VT and it's my summer dd. so I'll want it stiff for events/messing around and softer with slightly higher ride height for the street. I'll see if I can find a good middle ground to leave them at but who knows.

I'll let everyone know my impressions but keep in mind I am a novice drifter and these are my first coil overs so I can't compare to other brands other then whats in my friends 240.
