How to access rear struts to adjust dampening on the go?

Hey, has anyone found a way to adjust their rear aftermarket struts without having to removing the rear seats? Can you drill a hole to access the damper adjustment on the top of the strut? I know you can get motors and a control unit from Tein but its way over priced.

Thanks!

It is best to leave the backseat out until you find your optimal setting. If on Teins, edfc is your only option. I know BC racing has dampener extensions so you can adjust the rears with the seats in. Karlraze made some custom ones but I think they were for the fronts only.

I have the BC dampener extensions and while I didn't think they were a huge deal before I installed them, now that its in, I can say they're definitely worth it. A super nice touch to have them.

BC racing provides dampener extensions so that you can adjust the rear dampening any time with the seats fully installed. They replace the adjustable knobs with a braided extension with the adjustable knob at the end. They poke out the top of the seat.
