Default Ground Control Coilover Adjustment

Hey guys, i got a quick questions! Is there a way to adjust GC coils without removing the wheels? I had weapon-r coils (sucked!) and those were easy to adjust; just lift (I used the lift found in the trunk) and you can adjust between the tire and the fender. I was also wondering what you guys did to adjust your gc's! Thanks!

It's actually quicker to take the wheels of (personally). I can change my tires/wheels in 10-15 minutes with a hydraulic jack, one torque wrench, and one cordless drill.

Thank you! It was much easier when the wheels were off! The hardest part was to find the right tools! Layte!

i've done it without taking off my wheel, it was actually pretty easy. i just use a jack for the fronts and for the rears i can pretty much adjust them through my tantrums. later

If it did... its still in the box... Where ever the hell that is! By any chance, does anyone know what size allen wrench GC uses?
