Rear coilover adjustment through hatch tutorial?

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a tutorial out there for drilling through the body of the car to gain access to the top of the dampening for a coilover like the KW Variant 2s?

Many thanks!

I don't know if the KW's will be similar or if this will be of any help, but take a look at some of the info on this thread (for gen 1 though):

You'll have to get creative with the rear boot panels since you're keeping the interior intact. It will be worth the effort in the long run. Having to remove the rear coilovers to adjust rebound damping is so dumb.
