Great product -

I also have thrust sheets that help adjustment.

The issue is the design of the wrenches (not terrible but not that good). For the money paid for these dampers you would expect something a little better. I guess I'm nitpicking and at the end of the day I didn't buy wrenches to get quality dampers.
T9 looks like a good product for that purpose.

Oddly, the front and rear spring perch and check nuts are all different. If you wanted a "perfect" set of wrenches for this kit you would need 4 different ones. I agree that complaining about the wrenches is nit picking - I mean how often do you actually adjust them? But every time I have, the check nuts acquire a new ding, which is annoying.
