KSport Kontrol Pro Rear Adjustment **** Options?

So I finally installed my KSports yesterday, and now I'm wondering if there's any adaptors or options available for adjusting the dampening rate on the rear. Because of the odd mounting situation, I can't just drop the "key" in and turn it like in some cars. The only option I seem to have is to actually remove each coilover assembly, adjust, and then reinstall it. Any ideas?

That's how all the coilovers are for this car. Maybe a Tokico shock rear adjustment cable will work?

KSport now has adjuster cables for the KontrolPro system.

What size is the Allen Head on the ksports? I still need to come up with some sort of adjuster cable to adjust the rebound on KW V3 coilovers.

I asked ksport and all they told me was the 3 lengths the cables are offered in.

My fab skills are not very good, but I know someone who could if need be.

That will be plan do. I dont really want to go cutting holes if I dont have to.

I think I will use my old tokico cables and trim down the allen head until it fits snug into the KW's.

I am going to try out the Energy suspension bushings in the rear and will have the coilovers out anyways.

Watch, it will take me 6 months before I have get around to it. LOL
