there's hole underneath of all that carpet covering in the trunk. The only bad thing about it is that it makes a sharp 90degree turn into the top of the shocks. You'll feel some resistant in adjusting it but it works just fine.

I also suggest fishing the extenders from the trunk first because finding that tiny hole from the wheel location is much much harder. I'll try to snap some pics tonight.

wow thanks for the quick response! so you don't have to go through the seats, finding the strut hole?

you don't have to go through the seats, but you won't be able to see the strut hole either once you take all the carpet covers off in the trunk. It's cover with another layer of sheet metal, almost like a metal housing with some random tiny holes. It had a lot of clips to remove all the covering so i rather not do that again unless i have to. With that said, sorry but i'm not sure if i can get you a pic of that area anytime soon.

For the COUPE:

I forgot to mention that I have BC coils but the Stance should be the same concept. Stance might have a bigger tubing though. Nevertheless, there should be two tiny holes behind these locations where it makes a sharp 90deg turn downwards after you cram that strut tower back in place....so start fishing from the trunk because looking for those two tiny holes starting from the wheel location is nearly impossible.

More info...

in this picture, instead of going through these two holes shown, you can make a 90deg turn to the right side of that opening and leads you to that location of the trunk(that picture on my previous post). Unless you have long fingers, you won't be able to feel, nor see the holes on the right which is why I suggest to start from the trunk. Hope this helps

Going through this hole will get you through the speaker deck location instead...

here's the whole DIY to the speaker deck location,...

I'd like to emphasize that the trunk location will have some resistance when adjusting that ****. Although it works just fine with me, it's harder to feel the adjustment clicks due to the 90degree path to the shock towers.

Although I'm not certain since I didn't do it this way, but by the looks of the speaker deck location, it seems like the adjustment would feel normal and with no resistance when turning the ****.



Trunk location: No drilling/resistance in **** adjustment

Deck location: Drilling required/Natural feel in **** adjustment
