Default Tein CS adjustments

Hi all,

I've had the Teins CS (old, not the brand new version) for a few weeks. I can adjust the front shocks manually since there's clear access to the top, but not the rears since the towers are covered by the compartment. In theory, I guess I could punch a hole to access the adjustment but I'm not sure where to drill.

Any ideas or suggestions?


Thanks.

For me I remove all the carpeting in the rear and adjust them. I dont want to drill a hole in the carpet. Its a PITA to adjust.

I drilled a hole through everything and got the factory look going by using a hole plug. In looking back it was a waste of time as I never mess aroung with the settings anyway. Like GeeBee I've got it as hard as it will go.

Thanks for everyone's input. I'm going to see about getting a long hex wrench and drilling a very small hole to access the shocks. It's silly that I have adjustable shocks and having no easy way to adjust them!

Other than EDFC (or whatever), let me know if anyone has any better ideas.

honestly, drilling holes would be your only options to have "easy" access. but make sure you drill it right so you can "find" the adjustment ****
