How can I adjust coilovers if i have no key/tool?

I've just bought a car. I found out it was adjustable coilover but the dealership said the car came as is w/out any tools. My car is drop and I need to raise it up for the winter season. it's an 00' impreza w/zero style bodykit. Can I use anything other then the original key to raise it or do I have to use the exact manufactor key of the coilovers? Any comments wouls help. thanks

Check and see if an allen wrench of the apropriate size works

You can use a flat head screw driver and a hammer. I used to use that on my dirt bike when i was in a jam. I would recommend doing that all the time. Find out what brand and then find a dealer and order the tool.

thanks,
