I heard you have to remove the wheel.

JIC, Tein, D2 Racing make them.

by jacking up the car, you can get behind the wheel and turn the ring. i've done this numerous times.

Dont get the misconception that adjustment is easy. If you want to do it right you have to take the wheel off and unbolt the bottom part of the coilover from the car and screw the mount up and down the shaft untli your desired height is reached. By doing this you mantain full suspension travel rather than lowering from the spring. I am not bashing any of the other comments, just speaking on personal experience from mine

What do you think of the ride quality so far. We haven't had any descent input about the D2 coilovers. How does it compare to aftermarket springs and struts.
