Pfadt doesnt make them anymore from what they were telling me, I was directed to get a spanner wrench off line. I didnt want to spend the money that most places wanted for one so I had just been using a screwdriver and rubber mallet.

which coilovers did you get?... I bought some featherlights and they don't use a spanner wrench anymore, there is one tool that has a hex on one end to tighten the lock down screw on the ride height adjusters and the other end is round and fits in the small holes around the ride height adjusters... basically you just insert the round end in those holes and use it to raise/lower the adjusters... if yours are set up like this you could use a t-handle or hex socket for the lock down screws and a punch or philips screwdriver to adjust the ride height

For those of you following along. The two adjusting/lock nuts on the First Gen Pfadt coil overs are a 2.5" circle and a 2.9" circle. A lot of the wrench companies don't list the size.
Looks like Summit has one from Pro shock that is 2.5". # PFI-Z902 at $9.97
