In order to reach the top of rear shocks for adjustment, exactly which panels need to be removed? Is the of the rear shock under the rear strut cover?

IIRC from my Nismo S-tune install, no part of the rear shocks enters the passenger compartment; you can't get to them from above. You have to remove the wheel, then it's just a few nuts holding it on in the top and one bolt on the lower arm. Even if I don't recall correctly and the top portion does protrude inside, all you'll have access to is the nut that holds all the mounting hardware and dust boot to hte shaft. What are you looking to adjust? Nothing adjustable on stock shocks.

As I understand it, you must remove the shock to adjust.(For aftermarket pieces anyway)

for those that can be adjusted with an allen key... you can drill holes in the top of the rear bar...

there are 2 holes drilled on the side of the rear brace...



or if you have a suspension like HKS Hipermax II , the adjustment is behind the rear wheel, no need to remove anything...
