Dampening Rear coilovers

for those of you who have adjustable dampening coilovers how do you adjust yours? the only way to get to it is taking the strut down and then adjusting it then putting it back, is there an extension or something i can get to connect to it so i can reach it through my trunk?

good job fixing your sig, not sure about your coilovers, but tokico d-specs have extensions you can buy, and you can always cut a hole in your trunk liners

You should see if the EDFC would work with it. Then just control it from the front seat.

You dont have to tear it apart... jack the car up, take off the wheel, take off the shock and adjust them put it all back together. You can do all that in less than 20 minutes a side.

even if you get the extensions, you'll have to take the shock out and drill out the hole to get the extension up to the rear deck. So either way, you'll have to take em out. Or you can just leave them how they are right now.
