yeah, i pull the panels off, but still couldn't get the **** in place to adjust it, but once i look into the shock tower, i wonder if i am suppose to use the white ****(koni provided) to adjust it? or use some other tools? i can't seem to see the adjust thing for the **** to go into it, seems like i can only use a alley key or something to adjust it..........anyway, if anyone got any details in this, please post
Thanks
Thanks

You guys are making me glad I got KYB.
All I have to do to adjust rears on that car is simply reach down behind the wheel and turn the ****.

I heard yellow owners had to shave a small portion of the body metal in order to access that area easier : /
might want to just take a little bit off with a dremel and a little bit of sanding to make it look professional

that link does nothing for you
those are for damper adjustable shocks
you have rebound adjustable shocks
to adjust them use a pair of pliers and count the rotation of teh small **** on top or flip your rear seat forward, remove the 2 panels from in front of the shock towers and adjust to where you want them and put the panels back
there is frankly no real easy way to adjust the rears

That is the adjustment instructions for the koni reds not the yellows. The reds you have to remove the shock from the car to adjust them. The yellows there is a **** that fits onto a rectangular or squarish nipple on the top. Are you sure you have the yellows? The yellows are by far the easiest shocks to adjust.

the rectangluar nipple is only for the front yellows with use of the white ****. the rears you have to adjust it some other way. It does not have the retangular nipple like the front ones. I have had the koni yellows front and rear for about 4-5 years and haven't had the time to figure out how to adjust them..
BUMP for info..

i have koni yellow on my car, is really easy to adjust front or rear....on the rear you want easy access(if u adjust often) remove the back plate...unscrew 4 14mm nuts...
I have Tein SS on my coupe, and they adjust the same way as Konis. You have to be a contortionist to get your hand and a tool in there to adjust the rear.
