Question adjusting rear ride height 82 SC

Hi guys, I need to find out what size spanner i need to turn the eccentric bolt on adjustable spring plate? it has been set to lowest setting by PO

my driverside rear corner measures almost 20mm lower than passenger side, it wasn't noticable when i had 16x6+7, i'd like to lift it so it doesn't rub on my 255/40 tires on 17x9 EM

i'll be looking at getting an alignment after, perhaps get a bit of negative camber dialed in to help with clearances..

does any one have alignment spec recomendations?

in above pics, the car has handbrake on which raises the rear when facing uphill, the rear is much lower on flat ground..

want to buy a spanner to adjust, but don't know what size....

It is possible the height difference is due to corner balance adjustment. You might need to reindex the bars to fix your clearance.

thanks Paul, 36mm did the trick

the tool in the above link would have been handy, but it takes weeks for gear to get to NZ, and I was able to go for a test drive last night

now i need a wheel alignment
