I apology for not make it clear. I meant after the shocks have installed and the back seat reinstalled. Is there a easier way to readjust the rear shocks without remove the rear seat?

Not that I'm aware of. I think you still have to move the rear seat forward to get to them.
After I got mine installed, I drove around to get a feel for what setting I liked before I put the rear seat back in place.

If you don't mind the trunk liner looking funny, cut a hole to gain access to the knob. Plus, you can also prepare for any rear strut tower brace in the future if there's any.

That's one of the things I didn't really understand on the car. I would suggest hard in front and softer in back. I used to have Tokico Illuminas and I set the front to 4 and 3 in the back. I didn't understand the concept, but my friend said the engine is in the front so the stiffer the better?

Don't fire at me for what I'm going to say. This is solely from my experience and reading, I noticed if the rear suspension gets stiffer than original setting, it gives a quicker turn in. At least on front drive car, that's when I had the Koni on my Accord. I tried different settings, noticed if the rear is stiffer than front, it's more responsive when I'm entering a turn. Also, I have seen some project Civic removing the front sway bar and replacing the rear one with a thicker one for more stiffness. I also do that with tire pressure. I generally pump 1-2 psi higher at the back for the stiffer feel.
Hours of playing F1 on PC and GT1,2,3 on Playstation does increase car tuning knowledge
