i see, my rear is pretty damn stiff, i cant imagine that it would have bottomed out, anything is possible though, i have let other people drive it.

that is very possible, my last adjustment was either 1 and 3/4 stiff or full stiff.

if you have adjusted it to full stiff there is a possible that it got stuck in the full stiff position and your going to have to back it off. use a pair of pliers or something like that.

well for one the rear of a Honda has alot of travel in the rear and your right it will be hard to bottom out the rear of your car. now the front is a different story.

i see, i did try that for a second with pliers but the adjustment tab just started to flex and it made me nervous, like it was going to break off should i use some wd-40? or just ease it?

Wait how many times does it take you to turn your shock from firm to soft? Oh and does it stop or does it just keep going once it reaches the max or min firm/soft setting?

Mine go more like 1.75 turns stop-to-stop from soft to stiff.
Sucks man, I can still adjust all of mine, and still do, even with 150K+ miles on my shocks.
Are you the original owner of the shocks? You might try contacting Koni North America and see what they know about it, or send a PM to CRX Lee here on Honda-Tech. No sense asking all of us when you can go straight to the source.

Yeah same thing happened to me a while ago. Couldn't go to adjust it and it was leaking a little bit of oil.
