Most shocks in the rear have a dampening adjustment at the top of the rear shock. This area seems to be inaccessible once the shock is installed. As far as i know only Tein has EDFC where you can adjust dampening in the rear.

For brands other than tein, how do you guys get to the top of the rear shock to adjust dampening without dropping the entire thing out? I am thinking about drilling some holes back there to see if i can get the allen wrench in.

Has anybody attempted this with any success?

Thanks!

 

not sure if its what your asking but ..

tokico d-specs have extensions available for em .

 

if you have reclinable sets push them forward theres a carpet thing that covers it but its only connect by velcro take that off and you should be able to access if from there thats how i access mine btw the dampening controll is going to be covered by a round black rubber piece just take it off and it'll be under there.

 

ive got kw v2 on my coupe.

it looks like BC has some kind of extender also... i wonder if i can get my hands on those and some how rig them to work on mine.

 

dampening ***** are located on the side. You just reach into the wheel/wheel well and turn.

 

hmm, dampening ***** are on the top for sure... if you have kw v3, other adjustments might be on the side. could that be what you are referring to?

 

^ hks

 

ah i had heard that hks coilovers had adjustment ***** lower and on the side. thats a much better design!

at this point i might try buying the tokico d spec extensions to see if theyll fit

 

i have the top adjustment design on my greddy type-s coils...what a terrible idea. i guess im gunna hafta drop them to adjust. Lame...

 

true bc coilovers do come with the extensions but i dont even need them when you recline the rear seats forward if that makes any sense you can reach them perfectly.

 

i think that is only true for sedans of certain years

 

Tanabe has a controller too. Much more advanced than the EDFC.

JICs are adjustable from the bottom.

 

Greddy has a controller too with their coilovers.

 

wow this is depressing.. seems like every coilover manufacturer has a solution to the rear dampening problem except kw!!
