where are the stiffness adjustments at for the bilstein coilver kit on these cars? im guessing the front is on the top of the strut inside engine bay? where is the rear adjustment?

I know the koni ones are on top of the strut assembly.

I have seen remote wrenches that are like steelbraided hoses with a knob on the end. If i'm not mistaken, you can run these to the inside of the rear trunk carpeting in each rear Qtr.

Some individuals cut a "C" shaped hole in the trunk carpet that allows access in other model cars. Not certain if this will work for your application

another option is to choose a setting based upon your comfort/driving preference when the assembly is dropped, then in the immortal words of Ron Popeil "SET-It & FORGET-It"
