Anyone got any hints for raising the front suspension (gaz coilover)? The sound of alloy sump grinding on tarmac at 60mph isn't too nice! I assume it's a case of jacking up the car, undoing the grub screw and winding it up? Anyone got a spare spanner they want to lend me (i know not the technical name for the special style)?
