Default Help adjusting (R)coilovers on the Roadster?

I've poked around in the trunk and in the convertible-top storage area and I can't see where the top of my coilovers protrude into the body. I finally pulled the rear coilovers and ajusted them while they were off the car. Has anyone pulled the liner completely out of these areas? Are the tops of the suspension accessible from inside the body? I really don't want to pull the rear coilovers every time I want to make an adjustment.

Thanks,

Bruce

Just saw your question, I certainly don't own a roadster, but understand your plight. Have you tried looking at the FSM (factory service manuel) for any hints that might help you?

I've gone through this in great detail. The area is sealed off. There is no access. Sell your coils and get the HKS, which adjust from the bottom at the rear.

+1. My Tanabe Sustec Pro SOC coilovers adjust easily w/ the provided wrench. If I jack it up or put it on a lift, I don't even have to remove the rear wheels.

Default BC coilover click adjustment extension cord.

So I installed the BC coilovers on my Roadster. Love the feel. I do agree that the area above the rear coilover is sealed. Since BC comes with that extension adjuster cord, has anyone drilled a hole in the body or somewhere so that the adjuster can be accessed from the convertible storage area?

If you are speaking of adjusting the dampening, if you have an extension adjuster like mentioned above you can drill into the trunk and run the extension that way. Otherwise, that is your only hope. Ride height, the coils do not need to come out
