    If they are like my omnipowers you take the nuts off the top, jack the car up take your wheel off,jack the car up enough to where the top of the coilover comes out of the holes so that you can turn the entire coilover up or down while the bottom stays bolted up.good luck

      i'm not sure if the D2's have the separate adjustable bottom collar. But with the Omnipowers, there are two ways to do it. Either disconnect the top strut tower bolts of the suspension assembly Or remove the front pinch fork (front) / remove the LCA bolt (rear) in order to move the bottom collar.

      the directions say not to tighten the 19mm nut until the very very end and to adjust the height, just turn the shock body. Wrong. the shock body is hard as hell to turn. hah.

        Shock body meaning???? I think they are talking about when you disconnect the top strut tower bolts the assembly will drop down enough to be able to turn the whole upper assembly(shock body) up or down while the bottom is still stationary.I found it a pain in the ass and very little room to disconnect the bottom and try and turn it.Maybe thats just me though.
