This is what I'm talking about. The adjuster is under the rear mount on the SCALE coilovers. Yes, you have to jack the car up, but you don't have to remove your shock or hack up your interior. Or as seen in the attached pic, for the Mazda2, the rear shock was inverted and the adjuster was put at the lower mount. I know when I used to have my BC's installed (before they blew out at a track event), that was one major thing i hated about them and I know others with Gen1s and BCs/Ksport/ other generic coilovers have said the same thing.

Just bouncing ideas around. It's nice to see suspension advancements on this platform nonetheless

The long plastic interior trim pieces that the seat belts go through and the luggage cover pegs clip into come off rather easily and expose the tops of the shocks. You can adjust them from inside the car.

You definitely have to remove the interior plastics and then hack up the sheet metal that encloses the tops of the rear shock mounts. I'm pretty sure you have to hack them up even with the remote adjusters just to keep them from binding (smooth/natural routing).
