Default Rear coilover dampening ?!?!?!

So recently I purchased a 350z touring and imi loving it. So I was fortunate to get the car with a lot of suspension parts, so anyways I have the stance coilovers full/true coilovers and I like them a lot. So I was just curious how to adjust the dampening ??? Newbie fail, I know but I would really like to know if anyone would like to help please do so.
Yes I have researched and can't find what I'm looking for or maybe my google searching skills are bad

Thanks and God Bless

You will either

A) Remove the rear coilovers from the car and adjust

or

B) Take the interior pieces off the rear strut bar and drill about a half dollar sized hole in in the metal and adjust that way

Where do you have to drill the holes in order to adjust the damping? And is it the rebound or compression?

I have stance coilovers and you do not have to drill anything. Just take off the left and right covers over the top of the coilovers...there is already about a quarter inch hole there. Insert long Allen key into the hole and onto the coilover adjust ****. Works well if your Allen key comes as a handle. Makes it easier.

You are going to have to drill a hole over the coilover. It should be a little bit farther than the hole already there. I have KW variant 3 coilover and I had to drill a hole for each of the rears. I also bought a t handle allen key from harbor freight for $2.

No you don't. There is already a hole...I will make a video and show you how I adjust. You need a long Allen key. I'll make one shortly.
