How do you adjust stiffness on rear KW Variant 3?

Is there a **** in the trunk like the BCs?
Thanks!

i think the only way to adjust them is to remove the shock itself

If the KW's are top adjusting like my JIC's are, see my post in the "for this of you with JIC coils" thread

Thanks san~man. Good idea. Much better than removing the shock. I wonder if that would apply to the KWs. I need something like this or the BC trunk adjustment, I just don't have the time or space to remove the shocks everytime I need to switch between street and track stiffness. If it weren't for the bad rep the BCs are getting - they would be the perfect choice. Wish the KWs had something easy.

yeah, i have kw's and that the only unsatisfactory i have with them. it's really a pita knowing u have to remove something just to adjust the stiffness. i used to have bilstein pss9 and the adjustment **** is right at the bottom near the wheel. that was a good design imo.

Weiboy718, so they aren't top adjusting? So what san~man has done in his thread "for this of you with JIC coils" wouldn't work?

his way would work. not sure if the supplied allen key would reach though? you'll have to remove your rear seats to find out.

With my JIC's, the adjustment nut was only about 1/4" (at most) below the hole I made. I'm sure the KW tool is long enough.

Honestly, with a drill driver, I could get the seat out in less than 1 minute (if my baby seat wasn't in the back). It's that easy.
