Hi all,
I am having a hardtime getting my hands on adjusting the dampening on the driver side rear. anyone have any suggestions on how to turn the knob and adjust it accordingly? i tried using some pliers. but i can't get a good angle due to the gas lines and so fourth. what do you do to adjust the dampening?

Which coilovers do you have?

I have the KW V3s and most of us who have them, install the driver's rear with the adjusting knob attached. Perhaps you can do the same?

You can remove the gas tank filler hose. That's what I have to do. There is one screw inside the trunk behind the felt liners and three nuts at the filler top. I put a rag in the tank neck so no nuts will fall in and a rag over the shock tower to the other screw doesn't fall down there (again).

I use to do this before and after each autoX to adjust my shocks, but after doing it about 5 times, I have just decided to leave that shock at the autoX setting and adjust the other three back and forth for autoX and street settings.

i have megan racing track coilovers. my main problem is getting my fingers in the tight area to turn the knob on top of the coils to adjust them on the drivers side rear near the gas tank.

its "damping", not "dampening"

Well, I just slide both my hands under the tubes, and use my index fingers to adjust.

hope it helps.

yeah i'll just have to "try" and get my fingers in there. i must have really short fingers since i cant' even get a good grip on it.
