Coilover General Question

Say you have your car dropped so that there is only one finger gap, how are you suppose to get the wrench in there to raise it ? Do you take the wheel off ?

jack the car up on the front or rear til the tires are off the ground. when they are off the ground, you wont get more room just by jacking it higher. by the time the tires are off the ground, thats the most room for slack you can get.

sometimes, and depends on the size of the wrench. However, doing it like that, he won't be able to tighten the collars as much as he could. That way also only applies to the front, not the rear.

You can't move the collars with the weight of the car on them anyways. Damn... use your head.
