if you dont have extenders installed. you need to pull the liner.You can pull the liner and put your hand in there in less than 10 seconds! and the bc coils are bouncy theres not too much you can do about it. I have learned you gotta go big or go home with suspension.

You will have to remove the liner, you should get some extenders so you don't have to remove the liner everytime you adjust.

You should have ordered these in order to be able to reach the dampening adjusters through the liner :

If you don't wanna remove it just cut a small X where the **** is. Stuck your fingers in and turn the **** that what I've done.

Ditto, if you plan to keep your coilovers on the car when you sell it. The trunk liner is actually flexible so you can push on it to feel exactly where the **** is to make the cut. With the black material, I can't tell that it's cut unless I put my head in the trunk.

I was thinking of removing the whole trunk liner so I can see where to start the cut. I saw some people made a big hole and put some black plastic cover on it. Anyone here have a pic of it?
