Yup, @RTaylor , you are right.
I had been texting @kreiten back and forth earlier this week, and he had taken his 200 to
@torfab to get his struts tightened. He told me that Torfab used a Snap-On industrial brand of adjustable pin spanner wrench, so I got on
Amazon and found the same one on
Amazon

Sure enough, I got it in 2 days and went to town as soon as it came in. It takes a VERY long time to get the springs adjusted; lots of force is required (had to use a 14" cheater bar) and the threads are SUPER fine, so each adjustment only moves the spring very little.
After spending at least an hour or so on each spring, I was able to adjust the struts to a point where I felt satisfied. I am not sure as to how much lift I have gained, as I did not take a measurement from stock, but I can tell you it made a very big difference. From talking to
@pdxlc200 , it would seem that I have gained approximately 3.5" over stock. It is just about leveled out now; the rears are still sitting about 1" higher than the front, but it is barely noticeable. I know I could easily get it COMPLETELY leveled if I would just install the OE 10mm spacers from
@beno , but after the ordeal I went through with the KDSS relocation brackets, I am afraid to take my struts off, because I am afraid I would never be able to get everything back together again!
