Ground Control Coil Overs...Tools?

I have ground control coil overs, and i was just wondering, did any of you guys with ground controls get any sort of tools with them, besides from the little allen key or whatever you call it?

jack it up and push down on the wheel. while you push down on the wheel spin the adjuster.
What happens is your bushings get used to being lowered and want to stay that way. If you have rims witha nice open face on them plant your foot on the lip and put some wieght on it to get them down a bit. If your on stock wheels push them down before you take the wheel off.

my friend had this problem also on his 91 integra...so he went to the shop and they sold him a wrench looking thing for like 10 bucks and that thing was strong enough to help him turn da coil over to raise it up and down...

Just spray a little wd-40 on the threads before turning the perch.
