How to install coilover suspension?
Anyone with an how-to install suspension? Specifically the rear suspension. Does it require you remove the seats? What if you need to adjust the rear dampening? How do you reach the adjuster?
Evo-L posted a how to on it, but to answer your question, you have to remove the rear seat (pull the bottom off, then three bolts, then pull the seat back up then out) and all the plastic crap in the trunk.
To adjust the rears, you'll either get to take it all apart again or use an extender. Touge Factory sells extenders (but I'm not sure if they work on anything but Stance coilovers). I think Evo-L has them or includes them with BC coilovers. Evo-L talks about cutting the carpet to show them, but I can reach them through the battery and washer compartments without a problem.

FYI-I got my BC's installed fine w/o removing the seats, and adj them by removing the rear trunk plastic only-no extensions (you have to 2 finger it, but I hear thats the way they like it
)
Theres 3 bolts on the rear (cant miss them) and 5 on the fronts....I'm not even sure I needed (I did tho) to remove the abs bolt, ect.
