getting access to top of shock through trunk

hello all! I have greddy type s coils, and I am really getting tired of pulling the shock out everytime to adjust them, I have the extenders for it, and I kinda started to pull my trunk interior peices out, but I am alittle lost as to where the shock tower is (I havnt pulled the peices off yet) and I am wondering how much is intailed to get access to it, for the people who have installed the extenders on their coils and what not, do I have to drill into it? or what exactly does it take?
thanks guys!

when i had my extenders installed what we did was pull the trunk liner out and if u have someone from under the fender flash a flashlight you can see that there are holes there on the side, just use those to have your extenders come out

ok, I did see the small hole that was already there, I dont think the **** on top of my extenders will fit through it, but I might just drill it out alil bigger, where does that hole come out at? like where will my extenders be? because I dont know about other brand of extenders but the greddy ones arent very flexible, I am thinking about buying Ksports extenders because I heard they were completely flexible, Idk
thanks for the help

yea mine are not the flexible at all, maybe around 25deg of movement at most.
and when you drill out the hole, where in the trunk liner does it come out? how much do you have to bend the extender, like at what angle? thanks!

thanks, so did you have access to it straight down? or was it impossible to get to w/ out a extender that was bent at said 90deg angle?
