Rear coilover adjustment: What did you do?
No results on a few searches. I need to drill a hole so I can have access from in the hatch.
Did you take the coil out when you did yours or leave it in?
How did you plug the hole?
Any water getting in the hatch?
Is the adjustment easy now or would you have done something different or not at all?
Input and pics please if you have them.

i think i posted something like this about a month ago. Just drill a hole in the strut tower... No water gets in there because it's in your trunk. no need to plug anything, besides there's already holes on it

What setup are you running? Do you have adjustable shocks or are you running coilovers with extenders? If you're running the extenders, I'm pretty sure they'll lay underneath the plastic cover, unless you want to drill the hole and have it look pretty

have been messing around and looking for options in preparation for the upgrade, and the work you did definitely looks the way I'll go about it.
I also scrounged some jack-caps (small frame with a flip-over rubbery plastic cover for audio equipment plugs not to get dirty when empty) from a friend's place and plan on fitting them to the plastic cover.
If they're symmetrical they shouldn't look too bad, and the colour, and texture too for the frames, are the same of the trunk's strut cover. Makes for easy access and won't look as bad as an open hole in the plastic.

I have the cusco z2's. Did the drilling last weekend. For now, im keeping the plastic covers off. I want to use a 1" round wood bit for the plastic covers and find some type of large plastic plug that will fit in the hole. Haven't found anything yet.
