I can only imagine getting the tools in there to adjust those with a DD with the wiper cowl and that aluminum black pan that the wiper motor sits in..

I can barely get one hand in there with a allen key to adjust my dampers on my shocks. I may pass on this mod actually, UNLESS I do end up pulling this off the streets for good any only track it.

Personally I can hear any bump rattle and shimmy in my car, but if it sounds normal, I can tune it out with no problem.. I dont think my exhaust is very loud but other people do. Its normal to me..

Cusco includes the wrenches required to install the Centerlock. But yes, you could have a hard time adjusting your shocks. Inverted AST struts FTW - my adjustment knob is on the bottom.

You could fab up a custom adjustment tool... On the back of my RX-8 it was not possible to reach, or even see the top of the rear shock to adjust it. One of the Moton dealers came up with a cable that attached to the top of it, and we could fit it between the gaps in the body.

Cut an allen wrench, glue one end into a braided steel brake line, the other in the top of your shock. Remote adjusters.
