Hey there I'm at Mcmaster's page and not sure what size works best with the Cortex / Jri front and rear coiloer setup. I already scratched the hell out of one of the gold rings tapping it with a punch. :eek:

Good question. I don't know, but I'd caliper the pin size first. I'm sure the O.D. is over 3" since it's 2.5" I.D. springs and the collar is at least 1/4" to perch the spring.
 
I sent JJ @JRi an email asking him if they have them.
 
I bought one of these for $4.98 including shipping. Works OK, got the job done.

There are others for a few $ more that are all stainless steel. Just search "coilover wrench"
