I know it's easy to adjust the front with the knob they give you when it's already installed but how easy is it to adjust the rear? Do you have to take the rear wheels off and pull a few bolts basically removing the shock just to adjust the firmness with a pin or some tool? Or can you just reach into the fender if the car is off the ground and adjust it through there?
To adjust the rear you need to lift the rear but to the point where the wheel is off of the ground. You don't need to unbolt anything you just need enough room to reach up to the top of the shock in the wheel well with an Allen wrench. Too soft and it be floaty and uncontrolled, too firm and the tires will break loose and hop over bumps on the street.
