Tein or HKS coilovers

HKS coilovers
Hey, anybody know if the HKS hypermax II coilovers have the dampening adjustment on top or on the bottom. That is, do I have to get to the top of the unit (a pain for the rear suspension) to change the dampening rate? Then we would not really need the Tein remote thing. I think DMC makes coilovers like this - but I hear they're not so good.

HKS coilovers
Ah ha! I knew there was a quality coilover out there that has a relatively easy manual dampening adjustment.
Now, to anybody that has HKS hypermax II: Is the pillow-ball mount "noisy" like the old Tein Flex??
I have not read a review of the newer model Tein's. I heard from Jacky at Tein that a hard rubber upper mount is available but I think this only works for the basic and type-cs.
I bet, that for the same price the HKS hypermax is a better quality and better handling coilover than the Tein. Remember that pesky EDC system takes hours to install (read hundreds of $) and besides it seems like everybody has one. Can anybody back this up?

The front dampers make absolutely no noise whatsoever. The rear dampers make a bit of a sqeaking noise when you go over bumps, but it's not that annoying. I'm guessing it will go away after a bit of use. But there's definitely no "clunking" noise from the springs that you get with some other coilover suspension systems.

the hks makes no noise at all and is a great setup...i have the ls+ and i am very happy. the ride is not harsh, its easy to adjust both front and rear dampners, and the performance is outstanding
