Will a Tein coilover wrench work on KW v3s? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Will a Tein coilover wrench work on KW v3s? I tried searching but had no luck. The backstory is that I'm deciding to buy a used set of kw v3 coilovers as a backup, and I currently have the Tein Flex A coilovers which may go out at one point. Depending on the compatibility, I may just buy another wrench to make it work. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

From my experience, I've used my Tein spanner wrenches on a couple different coilovers on different cars (Tanabe, HKS) and it works.

You don't really need a wrench for KW. Once you loosen the grub screw, the plastic ring can be turned by hand even when it's on the vehicle, provided that the threads are clean. Moreover, the ring on KW doesn't need to be locked against anything.

To answer your question, probably not, because the KW wrench doesn't fit on the Tein.
