There is no special tool required.  I think the object you are referring to is a
protractor to measure the angle of the spring plates.

Though this may be a bit time consuming you could adjust the suspension one 
notch at a time until the ride height is to your liking.  If the car was not 
intentionally lowered (it's still a bone-stock car concerning the suspension) 
then what you should really do is replace the *torsion* bars and don't adjust 
the height setting.

Is there a special tool required to unlower a square?
...
Anyhoo, This latest addition was lowered in the back and in the manual it 
looks like they are using a special tool to make the adjustments.  Anyone 
have any helpful hints on what to look for and how to do it?????
