I definitely agree with everyone on that. The rear is very frustrating to adjust

Yea except the bottom of the adjustable spring is covered ALL the way around. It sits in it like a cup.

This is unfortunitley the only way it can be designed so we can allow for the vehicle to be lowered to its max potential. We could have had the locking collars higher out of the cup, but that would restrict height range adjustment.

Any other quality coilover brand that adjusts height seperately from spring load, you have to unbolt to adjust, just like my Skunk 2 on my Civic. It's not Ksport, its the type of coilover, and our vehicle design. I personally think Ksport did an exceptionally good job, and I am 100% satisfied with mine.

On my 98 civic with Koni yellows I never had to unbolt to adjust height.

I am too, its just a PIA to have to unbolt all that linkage.

Maybe make an adapter that fits inside there or something. Just brainstorming.

Independent suspension all around. the method to adjust height was exactly like the video posted above. They even had their own shock dampener that you twist at the top. Very high quality struts. I wish Koni made struts for the tc2.

Adjust the 2 orange locks all the way up and then thread the strut into the bottom.

I'd have to take my wheel off and jack it up... All of which needs to be on blocks. #lowproblems
