Default KYB AGX adjustment

I just got my KYB AGX's delivered today. I did plenty of research before choosing these, and one of the things I liked was that they are adjustable. I kept reading (and seeing in pics) how the rear was adjustable from 1-4 on the shock rod. The fronts were supposed to have a dial on the body of the strut that adjusts from 1-6. On the ones I got today, both front and rear have a dial on the rod that goes from 1-4, no dial on the body of the fronts and neither front or rear sets allow adjustment 1-6. Is this a new money saving feature? Have other people here gotten ones with a 1-6 dial on the body of the front strut. Not that big of a deal to me but it's not quite what I was expecting...

Thanks

I believe the struts have the 1-4 while shocks have the 1-8

depending what car your orderd them for the adjustment dials are in diffrent locations. civic/integra shocks have them on the top of the shaft (1-4) and accord/prelude models have them on the body of the shock (1-6)

it's no big deal. it's just the way KYB makes them.

That clears it up, thanks. Can't wait to have them put on with the neuspeed sports. I'm heartbroken that I can't do it myself, I'm in LA temporarily until next year, all my stuff is in Portland, Oregon and I am living in apartments so without most of my tools and no garage or driveway I can't really work on my car. The apartment lease I signed doesn't let you work on cars (but I've done stuff like my brake fluid flush and tune up, etc.). If anyone knows a good honda or suspension guy in west LA let me know
