any way to adjust rear dampers without taking the shock out?

Sigh, one of my extension ***** tore off, I guess i was turning them a bit too hard. Its hard to feel the "clicks" so i didnt get much feedback and i turned them more than they would go and it came right off. Is there anyway I can get to the ***** from inside the car without having to take out the entire rear shock? Like perhaps through the back seat or trunk?

I still have the other **** but its so difficult to turn and i cannot feel any clicks at all. Im afraid to even try anymore since i already tore and damaged the other *****. Sigh. So now I don't even know what settings my rear dampers are even set to.

I'm assuming you have stance based on your other post, and if so, the only way is if you have the extenders. Otherwise it varies on the coilover. HKS (hypermax 3 for sure) and Impul Ohlins allow you to adjust it on the bottom through the wheel (if the wheel has enough spacing). Otherwise you'd need to take off the wheel.

So it sounds like you already have extenders but they are broken? Unless you are a sedan, other than extenders or a coilover brand with the ability to be adjusted in the wheel well then there really isn't any way to adjust it without pulling them out.

Sedan also must be a premium package IIRC. Otherwise, same as coupes.

Donpisto, xet: Yes I have the Stance GR+ with rear extensions, one of them tore right off and is broken, oh well. I already took em off and set them and going to stay with those settings. Those rear extensions don't work too well. You can't even turn them and when you could, they're too hard and you can even barely feel the clicks.
