Yes mine are completely destroyed. I left one at a Firestone (they 'lost' it), and the other was bent so bad when I bent it back it broke. If anyone in Houston has a spanner I could use I would like to level my car out.

Call Race Land and buy some new ones.
I'm sure they are not expensive at all.

You should see whether other coil over spanners will fit.
I'm not sure if they will or not, but maybe their quality is better?

Other spanners will work. I used the ones that came with my wife's function forms last time I messed with mine.

They work pretty good, but the handles are longer than the ones that came with my racelands so they hit more stuff than mine. Not sure if they have shorter ones for the scions or not since she drives a civic.

Depends on how low you go.
My rims are 17x7, and I'm slammed as far as you can go and I rub ALL the time.

But I'm not complaining.

Depends on how low you wanna go and what size tire you run. You can easily make it work if your willing to roll fenders and or run a little negative camber if need be.

You sure it's coming from your coilovers and not your sway bar bushings?
