^ That is correct.

The area above the shock is a dead cavity, it is not accesible.

It's accessible from the inside of the car! Why would you guys say it's not?!?! Think about it; if you can put on EDFC from the inside of the car, why wouldn't you be able to adjust them from the inside? It's been a while since I looked at mine, but I put the EDFC on quite a few months after I had originally installed the dampers and I had to adjust them prior to that point as well.

^ Ya, if you have EDFC. Obviously the OP does not have EDFC.

You need to pull the shock, end of story.

thats a great guide but when you go to the track and need to change dampening that still takes way too long. Get a dremel and cut a few holes then put some rubber stripping around the holes so u dont cut yourself. you can then change ur suspension setting in about 30 seconds

yup u just need to make an initial "guide" hole so you can see how much metal to take off, you dont want to come too close to the bottom where the strut is bolted into the car.

Ahh... sorry, I have a sedan - adjustment is easy from inside the car. The OP has a coupe. I guess that's another plus for the sedan guys.
