PSS9 spanner tools

I'm looking for a set of PSS9 wrenches so I can adjust my ride height. I've looked but haven't been able to find anything. A call to Bilstein wasn't very helpful either. Does anyone know where to buy a set? Failing that, any other suggestions for spanner wrenches that would work?

If I can't buy a set, is there anyone near the Baltimore area with a set that you would be willing to loan me for a couple weeks?

Thanks

I may have a set in the shop, and also have a customers set here as well. I'll look tomorrow. Also have a **** ton of other spare makes that could be modified to suit the pss9's.

Who/how did you contact Bilstein? I called one or two numbers, but never managed to find the right person to help.

Also, can these be adjusted in place on the car? Any tips for adjusting them?

Thanks

Yes, you can adjust them awhile they are on the car.

Jack the car up to get the load off the suspension, loosen, adjust desired height, re-tighten. Sometimes the plastic pieces sandwiched between the two adjusting nuts need replacing, it will help prevent them from seizing (no metal on metal contact).

Call up bilstein (they're California office) and ask to speak with someone in service. You can also fill out a service form, mail it in, and state that you need a set of spanner wrenches. Or just go through an authorized distributor.

The good news is that I found the right person at Bilstein. The bad news is that they are out of the wrenches and he doesn't know when they will get more.

So Rennfab, if you have anything available, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll hope for anyone local or just try to find something adjustable.

I did not get a chance to swing up to the shop today. Took the day off to run some errands and got sidetracked. I'll be there tomorrow and will check.
