There's a proper tool for it?

For the fronts, you can use an allen key and a spanner. For the rears you can use two spanners...or a pair of pliers for me

There's another way to lower the rear but it requires a bit of fabrication. Years ago on my GLS I welded on 2 x 5mm thick metal plates on the bracket that holds the bottom of each rear shock (4 metal plates in total, each 70mm x 40mm x 5mm). I them drilled a couple of holes 20 mm apart and parallel to the hole that bolts the lower shock absorber. I now had 3 sets of holes that I could bolt the shocks to, each one 20mm lower than the other so I could lower the car 40mm just by bolting each rear shock in the lowest hole.

If you have trouble visualising this then don't attempt to do it. It's not something you can slap together and the brackets have to be as strong as the original shockie mount. Using a l_l shaped piece turned on it's side would be better as it keeps the sides parallel and you have more surface area to weld with.

I think I know what you mean Paul. You can also use drop plates. This basically drops raises the point of where the stub axle mounts onto the beam, which lowered the car. guys in the US use them on caddy's alot
