This might sound like a stupid question but here it goes.
Does anyone know if you can adjust the rear coilovers for a top adjustment system without removing the entire coilover? Can it be done with minimal cutting of interior plastic panels to get access -(ex. peep hole)?

I know PSS9's are adjustable from below so it skirts the issue but what brands also have the same adjustment features.

thanx in advance,

I think the ledas are adjustable when you just jack it up and take the wheel off. They have a locking screw type adjustment(the coil rests against the bottom of the strut and the adjustable part) that just spins around the entire coil, in turn raising and lowering the spring hight.

 

i think he's talking about shock rate adjustment..

 

I remember checking this out on my cay prior to the PSS9s as I was at that time thinking about the Konis. I remember thinking that it was not do'able with the rears as they are behind the wheel wells I think.

 

Onasled - Do you know if you can access the upper portion of the rear strut by removing the rear well plastic liner. I forget to check mine the other day - I'm gonna try Monday.

 

If your are talking about the Koni type adjuster that is at the top of the piston, then no, you can't get to that even with the well removed. Anything above the bolt on point is not accessible.

 

you should look into the TEIN EDFC's.

They have a SuperStreet coilover kit with some nasty 500lbs/in
springs. See if they can swap those with the S-Tech springs for
the MCS with about 220-250lbs/in springs. should be a nice
streetable ride. :smile:

 

I've considered those - seems like the PSS9 is the only option for easy settings.

 

are you going to be frequently changing the damp setting?

I have D-Specs on my other car and those are only adjustable
at the top... same thing on that car where you need to pull
down the rear shock in order to access the damp setting. ive
only had to change it maybe 3-4 times since install to dial-in
my setup..which imho, is really not that big of a deal.

so, unless you really want the bil's you might want to
reconsider the other coilovers you were looking at. :smile:

 

SPAX are also easy to adjust. Rears have a **** on the side just like the PSS9s, and the fronts adjust at the top of the damper shaft under the hood.

FYI, the clicks on the SPAX were much more obvious than those on my PSS9s, making them easier to adjust by feel alone.
